1879-O Morgan Vam help Needed

Can't find this 79-o using Vam world . Looks to be a clashed die . Not sure if the die break thru the date makes this a listed Vam . die break thru the 8 and look close at The 7 has a die break that caused it to split . Sorry for the poor photos , but its the best my camera would do . In person the die break shows raised surface

    Interesting coin- Not seeing a clashed die. Looks more like a lamination crack- not a die break. However, I am looking at an image and that is what it looks like from where I sit. An in hand review of the coin could be more supportive of a die break...

    I suspect there are others here that will chime in

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    The stuff through the date looks like a lamination, and therefore wouldn't be covered by VAM listings. The clash might be strong enough to result in part of the letter 'n' from In being transferred to the front of the coin. There are a few of these listed. Otherwise, from here all I have to go on is normal O mint mark centered and upright.
