jim7219 Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 9:34 pm I was looking at this 1879 and trying to see if there was any VAM's. Couldn't match it up to any. However the 8 on the left side looks like it had grease maybe? Any idea what VAM this is? Report this Post to the Staff

They can really only be used to narrow down or help confirm a VAM. Not sure if they are more common or uncommon on certain years though. Post a pic of the reverse and maybe another of the obverse with less glare and more straight-on plus any other anomalous features you see and we'll try to narrow her down for ya Edited by Cascade 02/08/2016 08:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
