Hello,

After being inspired by SsuperDdave about VAMs while walking around at the Philadelphia coin show last summer I am hopefully submitting my very first verifiable VAM which I picked up at an auction in Ky a couple of weeks ago.

Please check it out and let me know what I have and do not have.

I took these two full size shots using a scanner so virtually no cartwheel effect can be detected.

I will upload the obverse and reverse using a non-scanned photo later to assist with the grade if necessary.

thanks,
mdpmedia

My best guess is VAM8 as it is a reverse of 79 with what appears to be the small cc mint mark.

Its a Vam-3 for sure. The second pick up point is the light "line gouge" under the number 1 of the date. The photos are fuzzy put the line gouges running out of the rim are present. So it has to be a Vam-3

Not a VAM7. VAM7 has a reverse of 1878 (parallel tail feather). Your coin has a slanted tail feather. See link below.

Always like this date and have a small set of them.
Do check out the VAM world link, they have great picture for the coin.
