This coin has a curiosity for which I consider it within the VAM1B "spiked leg" variant. Although in my coin, the error, unlike the vamworld photo, appears only on the right side of the leg giving the eagle the appearance of having a larger spur. Report this Post to the Staff

Murasama Valued Member Spain 95 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 4:33 pm Oh thanks¡! It's really the same gouge in the leg, but I don't see the far date of VAM-24 Edited by Murasama 11/18/2023 4:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8743 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 4:39 pm Yours has a far date, at least 3 denticals away from the tip of the neck. Here is a link to read over that will make your attributing much quicker and easier. If you can eliminate a large number of VAMs before you even get started, that helps a whole lot. LINK http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.c...ribution_101 This is your coin marked up showing date placement. If you scroll down in the link I gave you above, it will show you near, normal and far date placements. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 11/18/2023 4:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
