cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 07/30/2007 11:34 am I have been trying to attribute this one, but am stuck. It has all the earmarks(pun intended) of a VAM 113 but also the nose of a 132 I think. and the little bit of metal at the base of the P die gouge ear die chip cheek 1 of the doubled stars doubling on U of NUM over polished nostril doubling or flake on P and he reverse does have the die chips around the r and s of trust that the B2A reverse should have. Any help would be greatly appreciated Edited by cpfull 08/01/2007 09:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

ocsjr2001 Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 3:24 pm I'm using Leroy's 1878-P 7TF Attribution Guide and with having the die flake on the cheek and the die crack/gouge thru ear center, this gives you a II/I 15 obverse die and tells me this is a VAM 113. The VAM 132 has a II 3 obverse die which is a polished out II 2 die and it makes no mention of a flake or ear gouge. Even tho you have partial nose polishing it is not as severe as the 132. Both VAMs share the B2a reverse die. Report this Post to the Staff
cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 5:40 pm Thank you ocsjr, I had it pegged as a 113 as well, until I came across the nostril. It looked to me exactly like the 132 nose at the ashmore site, so I was wondering if it was a totally different #, and couldn't find anything out. Thanks for the reply. Report this Post to the Staff
