VAM help

[FILTHYHOARD]

Since I am pretty much VAM illiterate, can anyone help with the VAM for this 1891 New Orleans Morgan?? I'm not so concerned about the grade, but if you'd like to include it in your guesses, you're more than welcome to do so

Maybe these larger pics will help a little more

Have you checked it against the VAMWorld listing, here? See if you can find one for the Reverse die crack from the "E" to the rim above the 2nd "S" in STATES.

Hi Chris. I was thinking VAM 15-A, but was looking for a second opinion. There is also doubling on the obverse as well. Sine you're the resident VAM expert & my go to VAM guy, do you think I have an R-7 ?

The VAM-15A looks like a good possibility since the die crack from the tip of the lefthand wreath through the right wing and the "S" to the rim is present. What is confusing is that I don't see the die crack with considerable metal displacement over the "ED" on yours, but at the same time, I don't see the die crack from the "E" and over the "S" in STATES on the plate photo.

 

Don't put too much stock in the R-values. Many of them were pretty much subjective guestimates.

Any idea what VAM the 1882S would fall into?

Thanks!!
