1887 Morgan Dollar - VAM-1I

Description

1887-P VAM-1I Clashed Obverse n Revision by Scott Hamilton, 2010. 1I (revised) III2 I C3a (Clashed Obverse n) (190) Obverse III2 I- Clashed die with faint incuse n of In from rev showing next to Liberty's neck. Polishing lines at back of neck. Date in middle of normal lateral position. Notes: Both the obverse and reverse have nice little die chips for die markers and they seem to hold up very well. Some 1887-P VAM-1I will have a triangular die chip between the 2nd and 3rd tail feather, but may not have the die chip on different die states. EDS 1887-P VAM-1i doesn't show the polishing lines by neck and clash by neck may be very faint. LDS Examples do not show the polishing lines by neck at all well. With some searching 1887-P VAM-1i is relatively easy to find up to MS63, but gets harder to find in MS64 or better. DATE POSITION: Normal and slanted, very similar to 1887-P VAM-26/26A but set higher. Some specimens are known without die chips in 8's. REVERSE: Lightly clashed.
