DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # An E on the reverse converts this coin into a Hot 50 and Elite Clashed Morgan Dollar identified as VAM 36A ("Mid die state"). The vertical bar and middle serif of E shows. # 1883-O VAM-36 is the preclashed version (assuming there is such critter) of the 1883-O VAM-36A ''AS WELL AS THE LATE DIE STATE'' where the E on the reverse has been totally obliterated with die use. The late die state is far more common than the "never clashed version".
