I need help with my 1878 78 rev short knock Morgan

Post by bhinkle » Wed Jun 28, 2023 12:11 pm

I've had this 1878 78 rev short knock Morgan PCGSMS63 OGH for a long time and I never saw
anything on it until now.
What finally caught my eye,was the disconnected end of the olive leaf and broken D, in DOLLAR,
on the reverse.
I didn't see any vams, with those die markers.
There is no clashing, no doubling, no die cracks or breaks.
Would the disconnected end of the olive leaf and broken D, in DOLLAR be of any importance?\
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bert

Broken D of DOLLAR and the line thru R is diagnostic. This is VAM 194, the former 195A. All examples have the disconnected olive leaves
often the crusher of hopes and dreams

Thank you John,
I just learned the different categories or die marker listings at the bottom of the vams.
Like the broken D vam etc.
Now I can mark it a vam 194 and hopefully find the vam easier the next time.
Thanks again, Bert
