Here is an interesting Coin I found. I haven't found a VAM listing that has all of it's features. The whole date shows doubling along with the stars on both right and left, the date is very far right, There is a die chip on the right side of the first 8, the date appears slanted with the 9 slightly elevated, and the doubling also appears to have slightly effected the hair and chin. The ear may also be doubled as with other VAM's of this date I just don't have the magnification to prove it. The reverse also shows very slight signs of doubling over "STATES OF AMERICA" It's hard to see and even harder to het a picture of. you can se the faint S over STATES best and the MER in AMERICA. Check out the pictures. Let me know what you think.  Image:  1.jpg69.74 KB Image: 5.jpg78.7 KB Image: 6.jpg100.17 KB Image: 7.jpg102.2 KB |

NGiles, the doubling on your coin looks like machine. Especially under the chin. Very far date is correct. Open 9 and chip on first eight makes it VAM 4. Maybe with clearer & closer pictures something else can be dertermined. |

I had noticed the VAM 4 listing, but I think the 9 is raised which would make it a VAM 8? It's hard to tell because of the doubling. |

Here are a couple more pics. One shows the doubling over the ST in states, and the other shows some possible doubling over the left wing of the eagle.  http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/..._STATes.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...18_Eagle.jpg ]" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'> |

What I see on the obverse is die wear. I see nothing on the reverse.

NG, VAM 8 has die chips in lower loops of both 8s and chips in both loops of 9. 9 also looks to be within normal limits to me. See if you can find any chips in date. |

Here are a couple more pics to try and help. There is a picture of the O in OF on the reverse.It looks like the die hit the coin and then slid leaving a streak of the letters closer to the rim. And a side view of the coin by the date, you can see Two "layers" of the date.  http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...13652_O.jpg" border="0" style='cursor:default' onClick='doimage(this,event)'>  |

Looks like a combination of die wear, and some MD.
