shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 10:14 am Got an USB microscope for Christmas and have been playing with it. This coin seemed pretty interesting....however I have no idea what to look for....a nudge or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 2:17 pm Compare yours to VAM-24A. Some diagnostics match such as the clash mark below the lower lip, but I can not tell if the eye is doubled. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/02/2014 2:40 pm Thanks Dave you may have nailed it. I'll have to check when I get home.....the eye is the one area of the coin I didn't look all that closely at Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 09:58 am Well I can't say that I'm seeing the alligator eye on this one. Here are a couple more pics. One of the eye and one of another reverse clash. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 10:55 am It doesn't appear to be 24A if it's not a doubled eye. It may be 1G then. Report this Post to the Staff
shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 1:13 pm COuld it be a 9C D-2....Doesn't have the polishing lines on the nose or the eye that the 1-G has Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 11:55 am VAM-9 is a far date obverse die. I think yours is normal date position (2-1/2 denticles). Report this Post to the Staff
