1878 Morgan Silver Dollar VAM 4 Need HELP please

Tara11

First….I know newbies can be annoying so I’m sorry. My mom died 😰 and I found some coins which must have been from my grandpa. I’m clueless about coins but I did learn the word VAM today lol. I know this is a Morgan VAM 4. I’m confused by the all the other numbers and letters but it does have a broken star. I can’t zoom in any closer. Is it worth anything since there is a cut or whatever across her face and I think the number one is burnt on the date. I cleaned a coin (not this one) and was told not to? https://www.flickr.com/photos/195782406@N02/52125349559/in/dateposted-public/

Welcome to the forum!

Looks like you have a circulated 78 CC with a little damage.
Your coin might sell in the $100 to $150 range on ebay.
The Vam won't add any premium on a well circulated coin.

Never clean coins

@Tara11.... Welcome aboard. Sorry for your loss. Your coin has damage, which will limit the value (above is a reasonable estimate). Good pictures. Cheers, RickO
