Spinning the coin as LVA showed me the reed count is not matching up! Edited by twohawks 04/07/2010 09:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 11:12 am Check VAM 224 (168 reed count). That appears to be the 3C3 reverse. The PUPs are a couple of die scratches at the points indicated below. Report this Post to the Staff
twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 1:58 pm Nope no scraches as far as the reeding it I take a 1921 and set the 1's together the (1) on the 1921 comes back into the center of the second star (veiwer left) Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 3:04 pm twohawks, The 224 is the only one I know with a non-standard reed count on the 78 Rev79. Look at C3C reverses "with cut-down A in AMERICA". Report this Post to the Staff
twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 3:49 pm Yep cut down (A) EDS maybe? Report this Post to the Staff
twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 3:53 pm If this is a Vam-244 ? HOT-40 Then I really did well Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 10:53 pm If the die scratches are missing, then it's not a 224. Check the 221-A for a match. Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 04/07/2010 11:37 pm if you have the time you can always roll the coin over an invoice, it has the second page that is copied when written on, so mark the coin and then roll, then count for the number of reeding, that may help to isolate it......
