I only have one serious problem with it. The lighting on the shot makes it impossible to determine if it is an 80/79 overdate variety. A VAM-9 possibly? 1880-S is the reference standard for DMPL Morgans. You got a nice cameo there with an outstanding strike.
Gorgeous! Someday I'll get something like that. I have to ask a dumb question. What's near the M in UNUM? Scratch or die gouge? It looks like a die gouge.

Are you sure that is a die gouge? That interruption just before the M from the rim is more indicative of a coin scratch. Really neat if it is a gouge though.
The 1 looks low and there is a slant to the date that is interesting too. Maybe a VAM-31 or 31A if you do have a gouge there.

It's a die gouge. I'll get you guys closeups by Friday...busy with work/travel until then.

It looks like she has a little "war paint" on with the slight breaks in the frost on the bridge of her nose and above her cheek.
If I only had a dollar for every VAM I have...err...nevermind...I do!!
