Bitmaps are huge. It would be nice if you could convert them in your software to .jpg's. Either way, grab yourself a free account at Photobucket and post the images from there; it will circumvent the size limitation of the CCF Uploader. Here's a tutorial for posting from Photobucket:

That concludes this session folks. I appreciate the help and let me know if additional closeups are needed and I will try to get them up here in a timely fashion. I just watched PCGS grading 101 and 103 on youtube and found it very helpful. There is also a 102 that I have not gotten too yet. I am doing my homework guys and gals so not to let you folks do all the work.

I plan on collecting till I die like my grandfather and father so I got a lot to learn. After we figure this one out I will post the next witch is a 1878 CC that I think is a VAM 27. I think its an AU 50-55.

We need close ups of the eye & all the letters in E PLURIBUS UNUM. That will help a lot. I am trying with what you have given but still not coming up with anything.

Are there any clashed letters at the neck? It looks like you might have a small break on the reverse wing where the clash line usually comes out similar to another VAM from a different date.

I believe it is a 222C. I believe it is a C3 reverse and broken 4th right star. VAMs 221-229. Without pictures of the eye it will be hard for anyone to confirm but the die clash marks by the neck match up. I suppose it could be the 222D but I don't see all of those markers on your coin.

Anytime I am having difficulty with determining the reverse design I look at the attribution guide at the top of the 1878 VAM page. http://www.vamworld.com/1878-P-2012...bution_guide
