SilverTurtle,

Sorry you had to wait so long for a response. I've looked at this many times, but don't have enough information from the photos to make a call. The positioning of the mintmark appears correct for the VAM 4, but the 'O' is a different shape than that shown on VAMWorld ... look at the inside area of the 'O'. The VAM 4 is more round. Wear may diminish this, but yours appears more oval.

On the 1886-O look for mintmark doubling or clashing. These are the most desirable varieties of that date (VAMs 1A, 7, and 11A).

I can't seem to pinpoint which VAM my Coin is of...

There is also something funky going on with the 2nd you in PLURIBUS. Also, are those raised dots to the left of the are in PLURIBUS?
