I found this unusual which is part of the reason I bought it. Its a graded coin MS65.   Edited by Silverskunk

Interesting example. Mint marks were applied to the die by hand back then. I assume this one must have been on Monday morning or a Friday afternoon.  |

Quote:That reverse and the very high O placement looks like it could be a VAM-17. Nice coin! https://vamworld.com/wiki/File:1898...M-17_REV.jpg When I first saw the coin right away I thought it had an interesting VAM. Sevel things line up right, others its hard to see. The slab is a badly scratched slab and doesn't help things much. I balance WB and put it on the scope again later and we'll see what we can see. Thanks for the reply. Ive been searching for the appropriate VAM. For some reason I'm unable to access Vamworld. Edited by Silverskunk

The date position looks correct for VAM-17 as well.

PCGS won't attribute a VAM unless it's specifically requested (for a fee). |
