New VAM? 1900-O INSANE CLASHES!! Check it out!

I cherrypicked this 1900 O Morgan at a coin show today....I only see one 1900 Morgan dollar with this many clashes, but it doesn't match my coin. This coin has EVERYTHING. Clashed obverse n, s, t, and has clashes in front of Liberty's mouth, chin, forehead, and behind her cap. And that's just the obverse! On the reverse, my coin has STRONG die clashes on both sides of the wreath, above the eagle's wing, and also between the eagle and the arrows...So could I have something special here?






Thanks guys!

Don't think it is a new VAM. The neck clash just misses the G. However, you appear to have cotton bolls clashed bove the arrowheads. You might look for a trace of an E under the tail feathers, though I don't think there is anything there. You might have a t clash; looks that way though your image is dark. You might consider comparing to VAM-45A.

Cool clashes, Kid.

Thanks!


Yeah, I was a bit tired last night...After closer inspection of the coin, I don't see and letter transfer, which is weird, because these are heavy clashes....

As impressive as they are, those clashes and their degree are not at all uncommon. Do check for the t clash. See vamworld or ashmore.com. You might have a VAM-45A. You might also have just a VAM-21, but I seem to recall that not having a rotated clash. (However, Leroy uses VAM-21 as a catch-all for near dates with high, centered Os.)

Just so happen to be looking at my 45A and reading here. This one has much different clashing and does not appear to have the rotated dies. I vote for not being a 45A, but unfortunately can't help any more than that.

Probaby just a VAM-21 then, unless there is t clash and would be an unlisted variety.
