'''DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: '''Comments: # The [[1888-P VAM-7 shows distinctive reverse doubling, as with each of the 1888 DDR Morgans. However, the VAM-7's unique feature is the sea of die chips lapping up against the reverse devices. It is unparalleled in the Morgan series and dazzling to the eye, especially when you gaze upon a nice uncirculated specimen. # There are now nine different stages of the reverse cataloged under VAM 7. # Next stage: VAM 7A1.
