lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 12:36 pm I'm looking to buy this coin and I need some help to identify reverse and VAM number. I was just thinking if this could be A1j reverse. What do you think? Have only a low resolution pic.. [URL="http://postimage.org/] Report this Post to the Staff

judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 1:45 pm Not A1j. It is VAM 2, therefore A1b reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 2:31 pm I looked at VAM 2 but couldn't find the die polishing lines in left wing and the die crack over TES of states... [URL="http://postimage.org/] Report this Post to the Staff
judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/01/2014 2:50 pm You're looking too hard. The engraved wing feathers tell me everything I need to know. If it had obverse clashes, with partial I-n letters appearing at profile of Liberty's throat combined with the reverse die crack across TES and up to rim, I'd have said VAM 2A. Believe me, it is a VAM 2. Report this Post to the Staff

judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 09/03/2014 6:41 pm Early die stages of the reverse of VAM 2 are absent the markers that you were looking for. I have a PCGS MS-64PL in my collection, for example. Edited by judd1552 09/03/2014 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 09/17/2014 4:27 pm Didn't have any other pic. This coin is in a coin auction with others 1878 morgans and I was hoping to find another VAM because I already have the VAM 1 Report this Post to the Staff
judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 10/31/2014 8:58 pm A1k reverse, so either VAM 14.1 or VAM 14.10. Most likely the former. Report this Post to the Staff
