gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 01:26 am I have been trying to pin down which VAM this is on VAM world going through them all over and over with no luck. MM seems centered and upright. There is a spike above the eyelid, Liberty is doubled, the E appears to have the Die Chip, the fourth left star is broken, the r in trust is not broken, some of the devices seem struck with a rusty overpolished die. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance. Also on the reverse the denticles are damaged in an interesting way to me so I will post a closeup pic of the damage. (Why do the denticles seem formed under the part of the rim that is missing?) Thanks in advance for any help! http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c.../1878-S_VAMs Report this Post to the Staff

Even before ~~If all else fails~~ follow the sort by - broken 4th left star, unbroken r, doubled LIBERTY and look at the engraved wing feathers.

That is it! I just missed it, must have went right over it a dozen times! The initial description was not what I was looking for I guess and must have passed it by! I thought I checked them all! Thanks dave700x! Edited by gsp193 07/22/2022 09:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 1:14 pm Yeah, I missed it first pass as well. Sometimes the engraved wing feather area can look very different from photo to photo. A slight rotation in the full reverse image can alter the appearance of the mint mark position as well.. Edited by dave700x 07/22/2022 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
