If so which one is it?

From Van Allen & Mallis' "Encyclopedia of Morgan and Peace Dollars", "85% of the mintage was in the GSA sales, resulting ingeneral availability of BU specimens. Generally the strike is full and luster good, but some slightly weakly struck specimens exist. A few minor die varieties exist but none command a premium."

Of the dozen or so reported die varieties of 1884-CC, all exhibit die markers relating to the date and/or mintmark. Your images are too small to accurately identify the markers, however it does appear likely that you have either VAM 2 or VAM 3.

I have marked the clashes that I see. These pictures are the sellers pictures so i do not have it in hand yet, I will take more when it arrives, and it is in the GSA holder

Edited to add The one that says "Clashing from neck/cap" should actually be Clashing from hair/cap

The clashing that you highlighted is very common on Morgans. Check out this link on VAMworld.
You need to see if any letters were transfered.

Nice looking 84-CC by the way!

I will check the actual coin when it arrives (should be any day) I cant make out much more than what I circled from their photo's. Thanks for the help

I think the date looks like a VAM 2. If the clashes transfer any letters, it would be VAM 2A.

this is a 1900-o thats cracked almost all the way around the letters and a nice crack on the obverse too

How about an image of the obverse? I'm just curious if it looks like this or this.

looks like the 29a(second one) but i will look more closely when i get home from work --here is the complete reverse,but probably hard to see
