I NEED SOME GUIDENCE WITH 4 MORGAN VAMS

DONNYJF

HELLO ALL,
I have seen from most of you vast knowledge relating to coin collecting. I need to tap that a bit.
A friend sent me 4 morgan's that she had identified as vam's on one kind or another. Unfortunitly I have mis-placed her note that came with the coins. Would like some help it id'ing these and I guess selling them. I don't collect Morgan's anymore having some off the ones i had.
1. 1891....on Rev ot top of "United" unsmooth metal running from letter to letter and top of "I" seems cut off. Is this some kind of vam???
2. 1889-O...can't find anything special
3. 1884....Rev..top of United and states, same crack look(for lack of better term)..On OBV running from bottom of hair into stars
4. 1887-O....OBV same crack line top of words between the letters United and States OF and America.
These coins are circ but not bad condition.
Don't have the ability to send good clear pics. What too do??????
please don't poke too much fun at me, I,m just a small collector with out tons of knowledge...
thx

You would need to post pics in order for us to help you better. Cracks are usually not VAM's unless there is a "break" or glob of metal that has been pushed into the void left by the break. Also, you will want to look for clashes, any doubling or missing letters (created by grease or foriegn material in the die).

Otherwise it would be like stating the coin has a bright finish.....what kind of metal is this?

Best way to get the best help is to get a scan or picture. However, with the info you have posted so far, it does not appear to be any rare varieties.

EYOUNG,
the lines I talked about are very similar to the ones on your 21-d slab you have posted.
Line goes from top of letters to next letter.
Will look more later and try to scan

Thx for replys
