Question
Hi Dan,
)
I have this 1882 S Morgan with an unusually long tail on the two--would this be considered an error, or are they all like that? Thanks in advance. Jack
Jack,
Sounds like a doubled die variety, like VAM-8, that makes that tail look that way due to overpolishing of the die.
If you have a strong magnifier, examine the date for other evidence of doubling.
Collector interest in this is low to medium -- expect little or no premium for it.
Dan

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
