Help with 1879-P Morgan VAM

nesvt

Thought this would be easy with the clashed M and sextupled obverse stars. Can't find a match in the VAM book or updates. Any ideas?

-879 doubled
clashed M from designer's initial
sextupled left and right stars on obverse
worm like threads in eagle's tail feathers
die chip/erosion off eagle's right wing tip
raised spots between L and A or DOLLAR
slight doubling in LIBERTY

full obverse
full reverse

I have no idea - but did you take those pictures with an electron microscope? Unbelievable!

Cool coin.

Thanks. I had to reduce them to 12% of the original image! If you want, I can supersize it. I'm just holding a compact digital camera up to the lens of a 30x microscope.

I don't see it ni any of my stuff. I was looking primarily for the pitted reverse and came up empty. Off to Leroy, I'd say. Be sure to describe it as you did for us so he knows what to look for.
