Boston Show 2nd NewPS: 1885-O Morgan Double Mint Mark (Not like VAM 12). Maybe new discovery!

This is another coin I purchased at the Boston show. Very PL and very nice. The mint mark is doubled but not like the known VAM 12. This coin has the doubled mint mark shifted right, not left. What are your thought? Opinions are always welcome.

Heck of a nice 85-o.

It doesn't appear in the Encyclopedia or the updates, Heritage and and the others haven't sold one that appears in a search, and you caused me to discover that my example of that coin was a VAM 8.

Pending opinions from the real experts, I'd say email Leroy Van Allen with a pic for his input.

OK, there are a ton of different 84 O/O, but only one 85-O/O in the whole catalog and updates? That anapparent O/O that strong hasn't been cataloged yet is interesting. Could be an early (PL) VAM 12, but that's a bit of a stretch. I would see if there's any doubling apparent on the date and send it to Leroy.

What is his email address? How do you get in touch with Leroy Van Allen?
