    Looks like edge reeding dings on the mintmark. It's a "dash-8" 1883, so undoubtedly the real thing. III-2-4 Obverse, "Dash under 8," C-3-b Reverse, "Slanted CC." (Polishing marks in both CCs.) That makes it a VAM 3.

    They're common. The mintmarks being handpunched into the reverse dies make for some interesting variations. Some are more rare than others. The 1878-CC where the right C touches the bow in the wreath is a somewhat desireable variation. Mostly it's the repunched mintmarks that hold the greatest interest. And a lot of those are quite common and don't command any premium.

    "slanted CC" is just a way to discern this MM from one that is upright and centered, or set right, or low, etc. There are so many different die pairs for most years that a polishing mark here, a die crack there, a tilted mintmark, a low set date and on and on are simply literal descriptions to positively identify a die marriage.

    At first look, we all thought it was a "s', but after looking carefully, you can see the first "C" has a chip out of it about in the middle of the bend. Haven't seen one quite like this before.

    Maybe you could sell it to Kingcoin. He could put it on eBay as a rare Morgan from the South Carolina Mint.

    ahhh! So, you are now of the mindset that it ISN't an over mintmark? Glad to hear it. image

    I must have missed the eyebrow raising thread last week; why would David Hall be interested in a common low grade Morgan?
    It's one of the "Dash 8" models which is interesting but not in the Top 50 or even the Top 100 VAMs.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
