1878 8TF VAM? 0

[Woods020]

I’m usually pretty decent at the Morgan VAM game, but this one has me stumped. It’s and 8TF variety with very distinct doubling on the reverse, however I can’t match it to a known VAM. It seems to be missing some marker for all I can find. Any suggestions? I’m sure you may need more pictures of different features but I’ll post some to get started.

Closest I found was VAM14, but I admit I didn't spend but about 30 minutes looking.

Thanks Bob. 14 was my first thought but it’s missing some of the pick ups I think. I’ll look at it again tomorrow. It’s a neat coin and graded MS64, but clearly has some interesting characteristics.

I did and have been talking with them the last few days. It did turn out to be VAM 14.3 despite missing some of the pick ups. I think it was due to late die stage. If you ever have a VAM question that forum is very friendly and full of knowledge. Those guys know their Morgans.
