Guess the Morgan VAM ...

It's an 1878-P. Check out the two raised dots on and in front of the eye.

  • No clue but the clashing is similar to the 14.1 and 14.1A, but I do not know what those dots are about. I noticed a few VAMS that had dots in front of the eyes, but nothing near these. I am assuming that this is an 8TF, based on the clash.

    Please explain how you came about this. I read the vamworld description and there is no way I would have guessed 131C. Is there a place on the web that I could do additional research on these things besides vamlink, vamworld, ashmore. Thanks in advance, the 131C description is below.

    II 2 B2a (Die Scratch Thru IB) (180) I-2 R-5
    Obverse II 2� Heavy diagonal die scratch thru B and bottom of I in LIBERTY. Faint incuse partial n next to neck from reverse In on some specimens.

    You make me sick (but in a good way). Yes, 131C.


    Here are more pics... I'm thinking 131C2 specifically.

    Two weekends ago I took over 900 pictures of 1878 7TF diagnostics on every variety from VAM 30 through VAM 198. This was one of them. The obverse die is shared with VAMs 32, 45, and 195, but the clash didn't come until 131.
