The double ear is a match for VAM-12 but I'm thinking it's not a 12. These double ear VAMs are a challenge for sure.

Yeah, I should have posted a close up of the mm. It's not the 12 double mm though.

Are you thinking 27?... wait 27's date looks a touch closer but the wing to rim double crack looks to be on the 27.  I'm stumped for now Edited by Cascade

I apologize for not posting close-ups of the date and mm. That's a VAM no-no.   and yes I was thinking it's a 27 but was second guessing it. Thank you Cascade. Edited by dave700x

Wow Dave! I never even considered that one. The die crack over the left wing looked...similar..to 27 but had me second guessing because it didn't quite look right against that fuzzy full plate photo. Once again, you da' man!  I had this one up for possible trade, so hopefully someone needs a 1E as well.  |

I agree that this is an interesting one. Based on the VAMworld photos, I don't think it's quite the 1F in EDS. For example, the die crack coming off the "F" to the wing is partially down the serif in the VAMworld coin. It is even with the top surface in Dave's coin. The "verticality" of the mint mark between the example and Dave's coin don't quite match as well. Dave's appears to have a bit of a tilt to the right whereas the VW coin is almost vertical. I'm going to have to vote for the VAM-27. There is barely enough detail in the VAMworld photos to suggest that the reverse die crack connecting "OF" and the wing matches. Are there any die cracks in "UNITED" Dave? PG Edited by paleoguy45

No die cracks over UNITED and part of the reason for my doubt.

I was a little worried about the crack propagation across the wing to begin with. Here we do again. |

A stab in the dark Dave, but how about checking - Quote:
Die marker - Near vertical polishing line at lower right of right cotton boll. No photos provided on VAMworld but that is a PUP for the VAM-40. Everything thing else in the narrative seems to match.. PG |
