SilverTurtle Valued Member United States 371 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 5:29 pm I think I see the doubling now in the Date - I am pretty sure this is 54A. Report this Post to the Staff
MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 6:32 pm ST, I don't see what you see, polishing lines on obverse? What you have circled on the reverse, I believe are polishing lines. As to being VAM 54A, I don't think so. I just don't see the large die crack running down into the breast feathers. Close up shots of date and breast feathers would help. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverTurtle Valued Member United States 371 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 6:35 pm The Die Break on the Reverse displaces the field on the reverse. http://www.vamworld.com/1881-S+VAM-54A Report this Post to the Staff
MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 7:33 pm ST, what that means is one side of the crack is lower than the other. I just don't see the crack in the pictures, if you see on the coin, good chance it's the 54A. Report this Post to the Staff

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 10:33 pm they are polishing lines but to small to be listed for any specific VAM, though in some cases they can be used for secondary diagnostics Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 10:36 pm VAM 54 is noted for the die break going down the center of the eagles chest, I can't see that in your pictures,,,, Report this Post to the Staff
nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 1:05 pm The die crack on the breast is easy to see in a photo. It's doubtful that this coin is a VAM54 or 54A. nlp Report this Post to the Staff
