southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 02/29/2012 7:07 pm Got a new 1891 S in today and am getting a little confused on the reverse. Which reverse do I have here? All photos are of the same coin. And is the darkening on the rim below the date the start of toning? Thanks in advance, Jim Do I have this right? VAM 1E has reverse C3a, shortened and notched left wing. It's pretty obvious this wing is shortened and there is a clear notch. VAM 10 has reverse C3C,with a high mm, date set further right than normal, a line at the end of the hairline near the M initial and possibly shortening of left wing VAM 12 reverse c3d, is S/S which I believe I have here Is this darkening on the rim below the date the start of toning?

twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 12:15 pm It is a far date and looks to be a Vam-5c by mint mark but in the photos it looks to have a slanted date like the Vam-7. The eye dot is not there nor is the gouge by the L of LIBERTY. Looking over the types of mint mark over on VAM World is not always a good thing as dies fill so placement is what I have been looking at. It could just be an EDS of the Vam-5c, the Vam-5, 5a and 5b have a a different reverse die. Report this Post to the Staff
