No not yet (I know nothing about VAMS yet.) Other than that they exist

hmm.. maybe VAM-16, just based on mintmark position & date position. hard to tell, can't see the smaller details.

Sorry it took me so long to respond - I was on the treadmill watching M*A*S*H 30 minutes at 2.0 MPH

Well, tell me what images you need and I'll get them

also, I do know there is a site that lists VAMS (I tried it once on a 1900 Morgan - but that one had far too many of them)

so, ok. I found VAM World and looked up 1888-O for VAM 16. I got a photo of each image that relates to the Reference page.
But it is dinner time for my dogs then myself, so I'll post them up in a bit.

. . . Not only is it set high, but notice the "O" is kind of small.

These would be good starter pics, would they not, MrPink?

The squared areas cropped and clear.

I thought that at first but not sure now. The date location is throwing me off too, looks to be almost a far date but cannot find a match. Better pics may help.
