I have very few Morgans and i know very little about them.
What is it in the field between the back of the eagles head and its wing? Also is this a die crack which runs throught America ? My photos which are not the best and do not show the entire crack which runs all the way through Dollar.
Thank you in advance.

    Obverse die clash, also evident between the tops of the arrow heads and the lower edge of the eagle's left wing. Regarding the raised metal feature extending from the upper edge of the eagle's left wing - this is the clash transfer of the portion of a clear space between Liberty's hair curls, assuming that the dies were oriented in the standard position when the clashing ocurred.

    That looks like an 1878-P 7TF Reverse of 1878... VAM 114A I believe.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Thank you-I learn something new every time i ask a
    question on this forum. It is an 1878 P reverse of 78 and i spent at least two hours going through Vam World and could not figure out which one it was.
