GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 5:11 pm I have been looking at this coin for a week, because Cascade sent me a message asking if it was a 42 or 42A I think I have figured it out, that it is a VAM 42A. My pictures are not great, but in hand I can make out the die clash. I see the top of the wreath from the reverse going into Liberty's hair. I guess I am posting to see if my pictures are good enough to verify if this is the correct VAM? Also I am sending 10 coins to ANACS tis week, I might send this one ... opinions on if it is worth having them add the VAM number to the label? Report this Post to the Staff

MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 5:39 pm I think I see a clash behind her head. The "U" in United States is right on There appears to be an extra little part on middle arrow tip as well. So I would say it is a 42A. Congrats! If you send it in I would have them verify and label it as such. Gonna do same thing once I get 5 or more that deserve to be sent in.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 3:14 pm You're looking for letter transfer to differentiate 42 to 42a. If you can see part of the N under the wing line clash at her neck then it's 42a which I'm 90% sure it is but the toning makes it tuff to tell. John Roberts will sort her out for you I am slighly worried about an old dip and retone but even if so it should make it into a righteous slab. Very nice coin GR! Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 3:58 pm Cascade Now I am back to looking at it, but my old eyes might not be good enough. I do agree it is either a VAM 42 or a 42A. I did not know the 42 also has clash of wreath and at the neck. I do sort of see something in the "V" of the hair ..l but not sure what I am seeing Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/26/2016 4:22 pm I'm pretty sure, like 95% it's 42a. I see the clash under the hair V as well as the partial N. I'm just leery to say for sure from these pics especially with the dark toning. If you want and can get a good zoom pics of the neck clash area and hair V area maybe we can confirm 42a. I'm really pulling for 42a for ~~both of us~~ you GR! Report this Post to the Staff
