I do see this occasionally with copper so I suppose it can happen. Of course I also see photo labeling errors as well. It could be as simple as...
Marked up with Photoscape. I think any minute differences are my own creation. Heritage VAM 1A [ATTACH] VAMWORLD 2.0 VAM 2 [ATTACH]
It's interesting that the only coin identified in the Heritage Auction Archives as VAM 1A appears to be a VAM 2 from the positions of the date to...

Another venture into the world of VAMs. I picked up this 1896-S and believe it is the VAM 1a with the die chip. It appears to have a misshapen S...

I picked this one up tonight for $39.99. Not a bargain since there is no premium for a late die state. But I love the CUD under (8)0 and needed...
You can also see the remnants of the earlier ONE between A and DOLLAR.
My S-39 arrived and these are my first photos: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] If you look carefully between FOR A, you can see an earlier edge AR ~. Perhaps...
It arrived today. These are my initial photos. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There's a little more there that I thought. Look closely between FOR A and you...

It probably circulated like that for about 50 years and then was lost or buried.There are indications that it actually isn't "worn" down as much...
Probably N-2.
