cashhound Pillar of the Community United States 800 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 12:44 pm I can tell you what reverse it isn't. It is NOT a 1879 reverse. On your coin the upper arrow feather is parallel to the others. On a 1979 reverse the feather would be angled (as shown below). Edited by cashhound 04/29/2016 5:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 12:53 pm Tough photo to decipher. Maybe A1j or A1l. It looks like it may be a nice PL example. Edited by dave700x 04/29/2016 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 1:46 pm Thnaks for help. I think it's not the A1L reverse because it doesn't have the line in the N of ONE. Here are full pics. The sellers says it's dmpl. Report this Post to the Staff

lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 6:16 pm I just saw now a discussion by Metalenchefalon on vw message board asking about VAM-14 proofs. Interesting... Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 6:24 pm Yeah, he did pick up a really nice VAM14. I'll ping him to take a look at this one. Report this Post to the Staff

twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 8:08 pm I am not 8TF pro, but definitely not a VAM-14. Can you get a more clear photo of the feathers? There are a couple of reverse types that look like that may be close, but hard to tell. Is there a small dot in the gap next to the eagle's left leg? Any other markers you notice such as doubling or polish lines...? Report this Post to the Staff
twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 8:14 pm Does appear to be PL though. Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 10:53 pm Sorry but I don't have any other pics. I just bought this coin and I think I will receive it next thursday or friday. Will try to ask seller if he could send better pics before he ships... Report this Post to the Staff
lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 11:33 am I've got 2 new pictures of obverse and reveerse. These are same pics but better quality. Here are links to high resolution pics: http://s32.postimg.org/pqj7dve91/P4290058.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/bbnc8xm91/P4290059.jpg Here is a cropped pic of the TF with what seems to be a die gouge in bottom eagle's right wing (or just image deformation..)

twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 5:40 pm I mean absolutely no disrespect to this amazing site, but if you are a member of VW it is probably a good idea to post there first as there are many VERY well educated and studied VAM scholars there who can likely be of assistance. Good luck sir ;) Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/01/2016 6:02 pm Are we in agreement of authenticity here guys? I must say I can't point to something specific on a 2 minute glance but my spidy sense is tingling for some reason. Maybe it's just too nice or its the photography style but the hairs are up ?

lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 05/02/2016 08:27 am How I already wrote on vw forum, often I am not really comfortable writing on vw because often you there is very technical talk that is hard for me to follow, but I often go out first here on ccf because it was the first forum where I asked for help on vams. But I know also that on vw Message board there other VAM experts and that's Why I posted also there. About the coin I just have to wait to have the coin in hands and then will post other pics to see if it is counterfeit. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
