Need some help to identify this 1878 S short nock VAM.
Seems to have a long line from bottom hair to neck, other line on hair/forehead, broken 4th right star and almost unrecognizable S.
Really hard for me to find wich VAM is..

The appearance of the wing feathers where they meet the legs - just above the area in your mint mark detail pic - is relevant to attributing 1878-S. Could you shoot that and post it?

Yes, exactly. I'm going to be out for most of the day; if someone hasn't already offered an attribution opinion by the time I return, I'll be happy to see what I can find.
