brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 09:40 am I have not really VAMed anything, but I am going to sell this one in the near future and was curious what it was before moving on from it. I see on VAM world their are not many VAMs for this date. I don't see any dashes under the date and most seem to have dashes, so I am thinking maybe it is a VAM 1 or the normal coin and nothing extra about it. Any thoughts from the experts here? If you need close up photos of the MM or Date let me know and I will get some up. Thanks for any help. . Report this Post to the Staff

You're regressing, man. 5D is triple-clashed so hard the obverse die broke during the clash, and is primarily known for that die break in the rear of the cap. The coin here is barely clashed at all. The die cracks, however, definitely identify it as a member of the VAM-5 family, as does the clearly-visible curved die scratch in the eagle's left wing. I'm going to call it the (relatively) unclashed 5B. The dash under the 8 was known to have been polished out of the die by this point. Report this Post to the Staff

brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 05/15/2015 12:44 am I see the signs now and agree. I guess I got to hung up about the dash under the 8 and wrote off others to fast. Thanks for the help. I think my new 1883cc which you guys have seen here https://goccf.com/t/229289 is also a 5B Report this Post to the Staff
