kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 6:15 pm I cant identify this one..I thought it was a vam-12 when I bid on it but after receiving the first thing I looked for was the double ear but its not.. after looking over the reverse again I saw a blob next to the eagles left leg that I've never seen before. Figured I'd see what you fellers thoughts were.. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6997 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 7:39 pm ..however the photo of the left field,looks like a scratch to me...Cuds on coins have a great section on all denominational overlays.. Report this Post to the Staff
kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 8:59 pm Its definitely not a scratch, I've seen that clash before on other years. I've never seen the clash/cud that is present next to the eagles left leg. So if they're clash marks does that mean it isn't a VAM? Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 12:32 am It's a heavily clashed reverse--the clash marks near the eagle's left leg are from the cotton bolls on the obverse. Similar to this 1886-O reverse: Not sure of the VAM, it looks like a near date, but the obverse pic isn't too clear. Report this Post to the Staff
kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 06:34 am Cotton bolls! That makes sense now, amazing that in my short time (about 5 years) collecting I've never seen that clash before. Here is a better picture of the obverse Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 08:00 am Looks like a different stage of VAM-12 http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...88-P_VAM-12A See if it matches in hand Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 11:12 am I think it's VAM-24A. It shares the same reverse as 12A. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 12:00 pm The date position does not match 12 so possibly 24. edit to add - There is only one 24A listed in the SSDC registry with no LFCPs to confirm any pups that are not imaged on the 24A page.

kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 05/16/2019 07:00 am It closely resembles a vam-12a but as Dave mentioned the date is wrong. The world "america" is doubled on the reverse as well as the wreath on the right side of the coin ( from my point of view) it isn't tripled though as the berry doesn't resemble the one pictured.
