l was looking through a group of Morgan dollars I recently bought at auction. This one looks to have a smaller "o" under the "O" on the reverse. I could not find any pictures on Vam world or matches.

    There's one in the cherry picker guide that this one is counterfit made from bogus dies. Says its a vampire 5 that's been delisted but still has interest. I think that wercs

    Note: sixth edition vol. 3

    Pareidolia.

    I do not see anything that looks like an extra "O", small or otherwise. Are you talking about relatively minor damage around the mint mark?

    I'll rely on your professional opinion. It looked like a small "o" to me.

    If that is the micro-O it's counterfeit. The grading services used to grade these as authentic and I know the ones in slabs used to bring a good premium, I assume they still do and I'm not sure, but I also assume unslabbed ones carry some sort of premium.

    I don't think that is an extra O.

    It’s not and the coin appears to be genuine.

    I see that very small o and it looks like a small hit that formed a tiny crater with the displaced metal forming a uniform ridge around the circumference of the crater giving the appearance of an o.
