1879-S Morgan which Rev.?? and possible grade?

 

got this coin the other day and wasn't sure on which rev. it has

 

any info would be great also is this a cud in the 8 or is that normal for morgans?

Nice Morgan, copperman. I would guess MS64, reverse of 79(slanted feather/short nock), and possibly a VAM due to the 8 but I don't have time to research it. JMO. Great coin.

My grade guess, based on the marks on Liberty's cheek and neck, would be MS62 with a shot at MS63.

Looks like you have the Vam but I'm going with Mark here, to bad of nics on the Obv, looks MS62 to me. Still not a bad price. Good pickup!!

That is most often called a filled die chip. A cud is a die break along the rim which gets its name because it looks like a cow's (chewing) cud. That little die chip, by itself, would not rate a VAM designation. Die chips between the loops of an "8" on the dates of Morgans are very common.
