1878 7TF VAM Classification

Cascadecoins

Hello,
I was looking for a bit of help determining the VAM classification on this Morgan. It’s a 7TF and looks to be reverse of a 79 - SAF - C1. The wheat leaf passes a little too high for a 203, unless I’m wrong about that.
Thanks for any help and insights.

it can only be 200 - 229 or new but new is unlikley

a lot of them are pretty minor and probably really difficult from even your decently large images

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have to look up 229. I didn’t see the obv breaks on the N/M serifs in Unium so I steered away from 200.

C1 reverse narrows it down a lot, then the sloppy date seals the deal. VAM 202.

Thanks for the insight. What characteristics of the date make it sloppy? Is that an alignment issue?

Shapes of the digits, especially the 8s. They're a bit of a mess.

.
i thought it may be fake at first cuz of the date but nothing else looked awry

didnt' mean to send you down that path. 200 - 229 means 200 THROUGH 229 but it is moot now.

Got it. Thank you.
