I believe that both dies may be unique to this example. VAM-2 looks like the correct date position but the pickups don't match. The mintmark appears to be lower than any of the known 1896-S Reverses. Questions and comments are welcomed.

I'm not a VAM'r per se...unless it's obvious, but the MM position does seem a bit lower per the MintMark Guide on VAMWorld https://www.vamworld.com/wiki/1896-...tMark_Guide.
Perhaps your picture is not as straight on as the one on VAMWorld?

Thanks for the reply smat. The pictures were taken from directly above with a microscope and the MM position in the pictures matches the coin itself.
