Local coin auction purchaces

[dooly]

Hi all .. we had out yearly sale in Newcastle and it was a strange one with a lot of mid range coins not hitting there reserve but the £1000 - £6000 coins selling well

 

The USA stuff was going for good money and i only managed to win one lot this year

 

also the accumulations were hotly contested and i only managed to win 2 of the lots .. the nice lot had a starting bid of £50 and me and another had a humdinger of a battle and it finally went for £460 !!!! .. there was a nice woods half penny 1723 and a good 1875 IHC in the lot but now some dealer has them

 

my winnings

 

The only USA lot i won.. which was not a bad price considering the money the cleaned rubbish commons were making

 

1917

The 87 Morgan has tons of different clashes.The most "famous" is VAM 12 -Alligator eye.

You might want to check for more clashes around the outside of Liberty neck and back of the head.Also, on the leaves on the reverse.I can actually see some in your pictures

[michael]

more than likely a lightly clashed die

[richbeat]

You did alright! (thumbs u

[Conder101]

It is definitely a clashed die.

[DWLange]

Clashed die it is. And the 1887 VAM-12 "Gator Eye" variety is the result of a doubled-die obverse, not clashing. It's perhaps the most common of the Top-100 VAMs, but still popular.
