1899-O Morgan VAM question

nesvt

I have a very circulated 1899-O Morgan dollar. At first, I thought it was a VAM-6. Compared to others, the date is shifted left slightly and the "O" looked small. It's worn. Now I'm thinking it isn't a small O.
Small O? Near date? What is it? Is the mint shifted and/or tilted right?

Unfortunately it's not the micro O. The date looks to be a bit slanted. I'd have to check my book and see.

How do you know if it's the micro O?

Besides owning a few already. . . Way back when I was hunting for my first micro O coin, I bought a few that weren't. The only way I know to explain it is you'll know it's a micro O when you see it. The difference will be apparent. I would point you to Rob Joyce's web site but it hasn't been working too well the past couple fo days. He must be working on some updates.

Not a micro-O. I've attached a photo I have of one of my 1899- Micro O's.

Also the page from Top 100 VAM book which illustrates differences better because it shows side by side photo's.
