I had posted in Classic coins SsuperDdave posted there that is might be a VAM10 or VAM2 Not sure if my pictures are good enough to tell. I tried taking pictures using tripod .. I think most times my pictures are not good enough for a good ID. .. But here goes. I looked at all the VAM's for this date. I could not find any die markers to help identify it.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 10:02 am All we have for VAM-2 is one mint mark detail from a worn coin. In your detail images I can see that same tilt. Based on that very insufficient data, I'm calling it VAM-2. Two 1894-S VAMs - 7 and 8 - have insufficient data to determine if they should be eliminated. The " VAM Not Assigned" page has another "set right" mint mark with a little tilt too.... And note, since VAMworld is a Wiki, any information placed there could have come from someone with no idea what they were doing. I bet very little of that exists, but they haven't structured the site to eliminate the possibility. Further, the well-intentioned types who just have it wrong are going to be populating the more arcane VAMs, not the easily-identifiable ones. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/18/2015 2:13 pm Thanks Dave I just got back from a LCS ... where they have better eyes than mine. They also thought it might be a VAM 2. I understand what you are saying, about how little information there is for this date. On other dates I have looked up, there much more information and pictures to help identify the different VAM's That is just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
