SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 10/14/2009 5:56 pm This is another ebay find and my second of this elusive (the key 1880-O VAM). You need the right kind of pictures to spot this one as the diagnostics are small. I've included some key pickup points to help. VAM 49 Obverse Reverse Obv Overdate feature (short spike on top left of second 8) Rev Die Gouge feature (circled) And finally, if you see the rev die gouge and can't spot the overdate, look for obv clashing (combined with die gouge it's a VAM 49) Happy Hunting!

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 10/15/2009 12:12 pm SuperDave/Remmy1100, Thanks gents. I am always on the lookout for this one. Here's the link to my first find https://goccf.com/t/37286 This one shows evidence of cleaning and the first came back from PCGS "Altered Surface". I wish I could find one that was gradeable. I haven't given up on #1 yet. I can't see any evidence of alteration. I gave it a decent acetone soak and will get around to resubmitting one of these days. Report this Post to the Staff
