COMMENTS ON THIS COIN:
  • This coin has all of the attributes associated with the VAM-7A and has been certified as a VAM-7A by the ANACS.
  • This is a single clashed Morgan Variety with a "t" transfer found on the Obverse. The transfer was created by the clashing of the last letter of Trust of the Revese Motto, In God We Trust.
  • An Obverse clash line is seen at the lower jaw line. This clashing was caused be the clashing of the Eagle's Right Wing (Left Wing as viewed).
  • Clash marks can be seen at lower third portion of the Phrygian Cap (Cap Vee area). These marks were created by the clashing of the leaves of the 2nd cluster of the Right Laurel Wreath.
  • A Reverse clash line is seen exiting the top of the Eagle's Right Wing (Left Wing as viewed). This line continues about half way to the space between the letters n and G in the Reverse Motto. This clash line was created by the clashing of Lady Liberty's Neck Line.
  • A Clash mark can be seen between the Eagle's Left Wing (Right Wing as viewed) and the 1st and 2nd Clusters of the Right Laurel Wreath. This feature is general known as a "bat wing" feature and is caused by the clasing of the Cap Vee area of the Phyrgian Cap.
  • Numerous Die file lines can be seen in and around the Bow.
  • Clash marks are visible at the right side of the 1st and 2nd Clusters of the Left Laurel Wreath. The marks are caused by the clasing of Lady Liberty's Nose to Chin porfile.

SPECIAL NOTE: A feature that has been described as a "Snail" due to its shape, is seen on a leaf of Right Wreath Cluster #4. This feature is of the Hub and is seen on Morgan Silver Dollars that were minted from 1880 through 1904. A photograph of this feature can be viewed in the Section entitled Features of Special Interest. Photographs of other any other noteworthy features can be found in that Section as well.
