Pretty interesting. Obverse Reverse 1 in date These are cracks going up the bust The reverse Edited by SilverStackerKid 11/02/2018 8:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 08:51 am I don't see any clash but some of the die cracks are obvious even before you you did the closeups. Using die cracks for attribution purposes is generally limited to identifying die varieties (or VAM's in the case of Morgans). And also to die states. Sometimes there are so many different coins of a specific year with various die cracks they aren't even mentioned. I like die cracks; gives a coin a personality. Interesting coin.

Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 11:05 am Check out VAM 9 D2 http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...85_P_VAM-9D2 ,and see what You think. Edited by Cross-eyed 11/02/2018 11:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
messydesk Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 3:21 pm This is the VAM 9E die pair. As far as I know, there is no official listing for " VAM 9D2," so this should not be used. The specifications for VAM 9E include a die clash at the neck, which is probably there, possibly very weak. The clash is by far the least interesting thing on the coin, however. In addition to the cracks at the date being atypical, there are also raised rings on the rear part of the Phrygian cap. Current thinking is that these are moisture droplets that were present when the die was hubbed. Report this Post to the Staff
Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 4:41 pm At first I thought to be the 9E,but I couldn't see the crack to the hair above the forehead on the 9E plate coin,but I could on the 9D2,so that is why I changed it. Report this Post to the Staff
