Here's one that I can't find 1884 CC Nailed wing - VAM busters HELP- more pics and new info

After goofing around with my new qx3 that I picked up from a yard sale, I decided to check out a few coins....one being this 1884 CC Morgan that I found a nail in the Left wing, upper breast. Is there a VAM for this one? I have found no doubling but the 2nd star on the obv from the "M" is missing a point. There are also multiple small die breaks on the rev from the "D" in united through the tip of the left wing to the "O" in Of. Help!!!

Pinned wing

Twinkle Twinkle little broken star:

Edited: THANKS V4M!!! it's fixed now.

I show no reference to that die gouge in any of my current data. Wait for some other VAMers to reply as they may have more information than I do, but at this time, I would be inclined to suggest sending it to Leroy Van Allen for inspection and attribution. Nice find.

Edited after photo was corrected.

Ahhhh....Ok I understand now. Also as a side note....if not found and needs to be sent off, I will send it and that dang '28S nose hair Peace dollar (once I find out where my daughter stuck it

)

This is cool as this was the first "CC" I had ever gotten...and I traded for it!!!!

Ohhhh yeah. I was waiting for you to send me that one. After a week I just went ahead and submitted my batch of 20 and got another 5 discovery pieces. I have another batch of 20 out to him now and waiting for return.

Good luck with both of these coins. They both look like winners.

Oh, but don't hold them too long, I may just find another one and beat you to discovery.

LOL

I know there is a 82 with the pinned wing(Terry,MAD4MORGANS, has one), but I can't remember seeing a 84 with one. Very cool find. Can you post a pic so we can see if it has anything else happening on it? Sometimes when you find something really cool, you stop looking too soon. It could be a new VAM, I can't find anything about a wing gouge on an 84

QX3's are very fun

This is the photo of the Pinned Wing Becky was mentioning. It is on the Eagles left wing. It is an 1882CC VAM-3 (revised).

Leroy Van Allen said he would revise the attribution because both Steve DWSSWS and I sent one in to verify it happened on more than one. He mentioned it was likely a die gouge that happened later in the die stage.

Becky, did yours you bought from the BST have this as well or was yours a VAM-6A?

No pinned wing on mine, but the killer clashing more than made up for it

eyoung429 · June 22, 2005 12:16PM

Oh...that's right....you are the one who won my other "E" '84....

Now that I am home, I checked all my references and pics but cannot find any pinned wing '84 let alone a "CC"

This is definately going to Mr. Allen

Funny you should ask that..... There is a die chip in the lower lip, also on the rev, the leaves on the lower side to the right of the ribbon....are sorta levitating
