I went to a new coin shop today and was looking through their common date morgans and found this guy. I don't have my coin photo stuff setup so the pictures aren't the best.
First two pictures are of the obverse and reverse. What do you think it's grade is?
The third picture is the best I could do to show clashing on the obverse. The n from "In" resulting from die clash (very difficult to photograph, at some angles you can see it perfectly clear; others, you can't see it at all). There is also the t from "trust". The t is also visible but very difficult to photograph. There is also clashing on liberty's chin, the line coming out from under her chin, and on the back side of her cap. You can see very similar clashing on this VAM http://www.vamworld.com/1887-P+VAM-3A
The fourth picture is a small attempt to show some of the clashing on the reverse. There is seriously almost the entire outline of the obverse design.
Does anyone have any ideas of what VAM designation this may be or any other info that could help? I've tried looking through vamworld and the VAM book, but nothing that matches what I have. I am indeed a noob.
I'm going to continue attempting to get better photos, but this is the best I have right now.

Judging from the pics alone, I'd say it's a BU maybe MS60.

I could just be seeing things because I want to, but I think I've found most all of the indicators.

<< <i>Maybe 32A. There's no way to be certain from those photos sorry. >>
No problem. I had thought I looked at all of the VAMs possible and I indeed did not. Everything matches up with 32A, except I don't see (on the site or on the coin) the doubling.

Looking for PCGS AU58+ 1901-P, 1896-O, & 1894-O
Does anyone know if this has any value? I paid $40 for it.
