Help with this possible Morgan 1882-O O/S Vam...

GMan

Was just looking through some low grade Morgans and ran across this. Looks like an O/S mintmark to me. Perhaps someone can chime in and help.

Quick and dirty iPhone pics:







I can probably get better pics tomorrow but curiosity got the best of me and I had to take and post these in a hurry. Any help appreciated. TIA

Looks like the vam 5 to me but shoddy pictures and wear might be deceiving. The angle seems right though.

Well I did a bit more study and I found the obverse die markers pretty clearly. Can't see them in my pictures though. Pretty sure it's a VAM 4. Whether LDS or EDS I am not sure.

Anyone want to chime in?

I find these die markers to match my coin exactly. The polish lines in the ear also don't match the VAM 5.

Yep, VAM 4. Nice.

Always fun to find something

Those die markers I posted are so obvious, my 18 year old stepdaughter picked them up. The only thing she knows about coins is how to spend them
