Zero. Mostly because I don't know what the TOP 100 are.
Actually, I think I've cherried a couple. I've found an 1882-O/S, 1889-O (E on reverse), and 1900-O/CC. I'll need someone to confirm that these are TOP 100's
Not my cap of tea, but I have great respect for those do enjoy it. It seems like a great way to collect Morgans without getting sucked into ga-ga grades and moon money outlays.

I've cherried many top 100s. Most are common enough to not go for much of a premium, however, I have had some winners, such as my 1901P VAM 3 Shifted Eagle. I paid $50 for it and it graded VF30 at PCGS.
I picked a 1921 vam 3F today. A solid 62 maybe 63 but it has one big hit on the rev. and obs. is 64. Total cost $25.00 very happy day. The dealer ask if I picked off him told him no just some cracks. Thats really all I saw at his B&M. Found the wing gouge after I got it home. He knows I like VAM's and really does not like to sell to me at a discount, and will nerver let me look at anything new until his know it all son looks at them first, well he missed a good one today. I would like to rub it in but I get really good pickings and don't want to miss out on them.
The only ones that come to mind that I have missed so far are the 1878 VAM-44 (King of Morgan VAMs), 1888-O VAM-1B (the full scarface, not those 1B1 and 1B2 wannabes) and 1901 VAM-3 (shifted eagle). Oh, haven't made an 1878 VAM-14.11, forgot that one came in as a replacement. Only made 4 of the 9 78-S long nocks, 2 of the O/CC, and a handful of the 79-S PAF rev. Never found a 79-O VAM-28 or an 88-O VAM-24.
