The doubling on UNUM is Strike Doubling and not considered on the VAM number. Check the reverse wreath and back of arrow feathers for doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
adanak44 Valued Member Canada 207 Posts	Posted 03/15/2009 12:20 am MorgansGmime.Thank you for the reply.Sorry I forgot to mention the dents on the denticles under the 8 looks like VAM 19? and what about the lines inside the bow? Ping. Report this Post to the Staff
MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 03/15/2009 1:49 pm Ping, two strikes against the Vam19. Here is a picture showing the arced lines between the denticles under the eight. Don't see these in your pictures. Also the date position on Vam19 starts at the normal 2 1/2 denticles from the neck point, while the date on your coin starts at slightly less than two denticles. The polishing lines in the ribbon bow are very common, sometimes used as a die marker, but not used to determine a VAM number unless they cover an exaggerated area. Report this Post to the Staff
