I think I'm on the right track here... Been looking on VAMWorld.com on this coin and found some similarities, but I'm here for a 2nd opinion! I have what appears to be the Spike in the 8 http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1881-O_VAM-1A Also, the right 1 has the left side notch and possibly the Single Line Cap Fee http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1881-O_VAM-24 Full coin photos If these are VAMs, what would this classify it as? 1A? 24? Thanks!
Cleaned or not it will still have a VAM designation, and that is what the OP asked for clarification on. 1a looks good
