MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 11/23/2009 07:25 am Both VAM 48 and 49 have the hangnail. VAM 49 also has the clashed letters n and st on the obverse. Both high interest and top 100 coins, if you've found one, nice catch. Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 11/25/2009 08:07 am daviscfad, In addition to the clashes mentioned, the 49 has the overdate feature on the second 8. If your hangnail has a short spike protruding from the upper left of the 8, you've got a definite keeper! Here's a picture of that feature: Report this Post to the Staff
daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 11/26/2009 12:07 am here is a couple of lousy pics On this one it has something above the 8 but I dont know what Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 12/01/2009 9:52 pm daviscfad, I see a mark on the second 8 that is in the correct position, but it's too long. The over-date feature on the VAM 49 is the top left tip of a 7 underneath the 8. Check the length of the protrusion in my photo. Take a good look at is under 10x or a digital microscope would be better if you have one. Let us know. Report this Post to the Staff
