1891 (O) Morgan Dollar - VAM-8

Description

1891-O VAM-8 O Set High Discovered by Leonard Hinckley, February 1974. Revised 2009. 8 (revised) III2 1- C3e (O Set High) (181) Obverse III2 1 - Slightly doubled ear at lower inside. Closed 9. Reverse C3e - III O mint mark set upright and high. Notes: The photos below are of die cracks on an ANACS attributed 1891-O VAM-8. A lack of cracks does not mean it is not a 1891-O VAM-8. Remember the primary classification for 1891-O VAM-8 is O set high and the III2 1 obverse. Do not use the cracks or breaks as a primary diagnostic as you may have an early die state 1891-O VAM-8 without the cracks. The piece below is most likely just before the reverse die break on the ME of AMERICA, of the 1891-O VAM-8A. Note: Occurs with rotated reverse of 50-120 degrees CCW.
