This coin is a Top 100 Morgan VAM

6 III2 5 C3a (8/7 Spikes) (180) I-5 R-5

Obverse III2 5 ? 8 repunched over 7 in date. Two serifs of 7 are clearly visible above 8 as two short spikes and crossbar of 7 is visible inside the upper loop of the 8. There is a slight bulge on left side of the 0 where original 9 was punched. 1 is tripled at the very bottom. First 8 is doubled slightly at bottom outside of lower loop. Second 8 is doubled slightly at lower left outside of upper loop. 0 is doubled at left inside. Fine die chips show on right inside first 8 lower loop.

Reverse C3a ? Normal die with two fine diagonal die scratches in lower part of eagle?s right wing.

The 1880-P VAM-6 is one of the tougher 1880 overdate coins, especially in high grades. The VAM is seen as two small spikes at the top of the 2nd 8 in the date. The left side is taller than the right and faint remains are seen in the upper left of the top loop.

The finest known is a PCGS MS64. It was part of the Leroy Van Allen collection and sold in April, 2008.

Although classified as C3a, the reverse has die gouges on the right wing and is found on VAM-5, VAM-6, and VAM-10.
