1904-O Morgan die break - Update 11/13/05

Blackhawk

Can anyone identify the VAM# of this coin, and does the die break mean anything in the VAM numbering, or is that limited to 1921 Morgans. There is a break off the right side of the first T in states and I've included a photo of a small dot type break along a die crack above the mintmark. The loop of the 9 in the date is also doubled.


Update!*****I sent the coin to Leroy Van Allen for his opinion. He identified it as a VAM-10, the die break making it sub-variety VAM-10a. This die break was first reported in June 2005.*****

doesn't match up to anything in the book will have to check updates

vam 2 (revised) talks about the thin horizontal die break in mint mark opening but doesn't say anything about your other break and doubling of nine doesn't match. might be a new one

I don't follow vams, but I had to compliment you on your close up pics........

Bill,
I don't know of a VAM assigned for that break. Looks big enough to have a VAM designation. I'd send it to Leroy!
