Opening a Morgan roll.....first 5 coins....

all have this missing detail on eagle's right (your left) wing. Interesting and makes me believe that this
was an original roll from a bag back in Mom's casino in the early 60's. Hasn't see light of day for 50 years.
Would this be enough of a problem to attribute as a new VAM? It's an 1882-O roll and last coin has some
green end roll toning.

The Vamworld page listing the 1882-O varieties also has a link to an attribution guide that has the reverse designs organized for efficiency. Most of the varieities of the date have primary markers that relate to date doubling or mintmark position. The feature of the over polished wing may be insignificant.

Check with the Vamworld site. It appears to be the Vam 1A.

Interesting find... what else was in the roll? From your comment it seems they are all 82O's. Cheers, RickO

Ricko,
There are 3 - '82 o/s, 9 of the '82 o/o and 5 of these and 3 regulars?

The over polished wings don't seem to have other VAM characteristics except that
they are all closed 2's.

I would agree that they all look like the VAM 1A.

The fact that they don't have the other characteristics could just mean that they are an earlier die state snd the dies just had not clashed together yet.

Try checking reverses for a match. VAM 19 also has an over polished die. I did not check through all of them but you might check the section for C3a reverses.
