Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 05/27/2022 3:41 pm I'm starting to think I'll never be able to get my eye calibrated for these 8TF examples! Obviously, more study is needed. I appreciate the patience and sharing of knowledge, fellows. The hunt continues...

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 05/27/2022 6:29 pm with Dave700x it looks more like the A1k reverse to me as well. The coma feather really stands out on them when you find it you will see it. Also check the cotton bolls for the die polish lines and short stem under the right boll. http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...8_v9_obv.jpg "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 05/28/2022 08:26 am Also memorize the look of that last wing feather (not tail) next to the added engraved coma feather, you see how weak it is in the VAM-9 compared to it being only a partial outline on the A1k reverses. The die polish lines don't always show up well on circulated or dirty coins. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
