A few days ago I was hunting (no firearm involved SD) and "ah-ha'd" the reverse on this 1880-P. Hoping the marginal photos were hiding the Easter Bunny's ears I bought the coin. It arrived today and is (like NLP Coins posting) a VAM-1. This appears to be a low end, problem free AU. Would like to see VAMWorld crank up the discussion on the VAM-1. If they need a good example for study, I'm all about that and will gladly send it to whomever wants it for study... PG Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 5:42 pm I would love to find one in the wild. I just don't look at enough 1880-P's to get that lucky. Oh, and I agree with SsDd, this reverse should be a distinct non VAM1 listing paired with this obverse die. I really loathe VAM1's when they have interesting features. Report this Post to the Staff
