ANACS - AU55

This is a Top 100 Morgan

6A III2 6 C3a (Near Date, Pitted Reverse) (190) I-2 R-3
Reverse C3a - Die is pitted to left below the eagle's tail feathers and in the lower left wreath
as in VAM 1A.

The 1897 VAM-1A and VAM-6A feature the same distinctively pitted reverse. No VAM-1A coins are currently known to exist. With thousands of eyes seeking this coin over the last 12 years since the publishing of the Top 100 book, it is almost certain that the 1A does not exist. The listed difference between the VAM-1A and the VAM-6A is the placement of the date, which is further to the left for the 6A and "normal" for the VAM-1A.

The reverse die used to make this coin had significant rust pitting in the the lower portion. Pitting on Morgans typically occurs on the reverse. This side is the anvil or bottom die and apparently moisture would sometimes collect there and cause the type of pitting seen here. The VAM-6A is pitted to an extent not seen again until 1921.
