<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 4894868, member: 1765"]Looks more like F than VG. The VAM 3 doesn't carry a premium over the normal mint mark, as it is the most common variety for the year. There was actually a time when it was discounted, since collectors wanted a "perfect CC" on their coin. The small CC was used in 1878. When the large CC was punched over it, it seems to have been a bit of a hack job, making a bit of a mess out of the die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
