Owner Comments:
1897 VAM-6A Pitted Reverse. The reverse die used to make this coin had significant rust pit 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 a cause the pitting seen here. The VAM-6A is pitted coin to an extreme extent not seen again until 1921.
