I have seen this before and I will go thought one of my boxes to see if I can find it. The VAM is not listed by this die chip if I remember right. |

Well, I just looked at every 1887-P at VAMworld and came up empty-handed.  Looks like normal-far date, and clashed on the obverse, which should help narrow it down. Cant figure why that big chip on the 8 doesn't appear, though. Russ, you get more attention over there than I do - can you call their attention to the similarity between 14C and 1F? That identical die gouge is too cute to be two different coins. |

VAM-13's images are both EDS coins, and I never caught the crack details which show the similar 8. See what you think, jgator44: http://www.vamworld.com/1887-P+VAM-13 |

I just have this one dialed in. I did a die state progression study published in VamView about 4 years ago. It is just one that sticks in my mind. The small die break at the bottom left of the first 8 is a drop dead marker for the LDS of the V13. The MPD is weak at best, and gets mushed out on LDS.

Gotcha. I kinda figured that break would be a smoking gun for the right person - it's not exactly common - and the right person happened to see the thread.

That's it! Thanks so much. My eyes were blurring from looking at all the Vams. I'm learning
