stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 6:00 pm No doubling anywhere else that I can see. Maybe far date. Image: 1884 O 3.jpg 30.5 KB Image: 1884 O 2.jpg 38.64 KB Image: 1884 O 1.jpg 33.96 KB Any ideas? I found it!!! According to VAM update pics, it's a VAM 38. Same exact MM and even the minor die crack above the MM matches. Now the confusion sets in. If you look at the pic of VAM 16A, it has a die chip in the wheat leaves below the I in Pluribus. So does mine. How does one decide which VAM # to choose? Edited by stmpcol 01/08/2007 12:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/08/2007 3:25 pm I think, for this coin, the doubling over the 1 should be the deciding factor. The 38 has it, the 16 does not. The die cracks aren't relevant - either VAM could have them. The doubling above the top serif of the 1 should be pretty clear. Report this Post to the Staff
stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 3:28 pm Thanks Dave, had I gone back and read the nomenclature on the 16A, the die pitting on the neck is also there. Let the fustration get the best of me. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 4:18 pm So it's a 16, then? Report this Post to the Staff
stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 01/09/2007 6:08 pm Yeah, everthing matches for the 16A. I'm Just wondering who has all the VAM 1s. Are they the ones the big time collectors go after? Report this Post to the Staff
