coinman there may be clashing on your coin which could make it a 3a or 3b; but there would need to be letter transfer. It could even be another variety; need better pics to tell. However not all features of a VAM are always listed for each variety. Significant features & die markers are listed & insignificant "die poop" is quite frequently not listed on the variety page. Don't feel bad we've all been there. Even some of the old timers sometimes overlook the obvious and feel dumb when it is pointed out. You think this is bad try ID'ing some of the 1881-S minor varieties or the 1921-S scribbles varieties. It can be a hair pulling event. On a positive note you would be surprised how much you learn driving yourself crazy ID'ing some of these. Try not to get frustrated and enjoy the madness.
