jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 10/21/2014 8:47 pm Posted this one in the grading forum yesterday after I purchased it at a coin club meeting. Had the time to look closer tonight and it appears to be a VAM 5. Am I correct? The reverse is also rotated 10-15 degrees. Report this Post to the Staff

jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 3:26 pm Ssuperdave's-you may be right but what about the doubling on the leaves? Not been dealing with VAM's much so I'm not sure if that doubling is common. On the other hand, the lines through the cotton blossom stems match the VAM 15. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
AU90o Valued Member United States 199 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 7:37 pm Doubling on the leaves is pretty common. According to the man (Leroy), if there is only one or two leaves exhibit doubling, it is not going to be listed. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 8:31 pm I think VAM 15 is correct based on mint mark and date locations. That date is far too slanted to be not mentioned as VAM-5. Report this Post to the Staff
