Message:: [QUOTE="HawkeEye, post: 3404200, member: 86305"]The color is unusual, but it can also be the exposure on the camera.  I would get it graded and end all doubt.  If you look at my VAM 6A examples you will see that they are both well below MS and I try not to attribute from photographs.  Yours may very well be a 6A, but there are several O Tilted Left varieties.  I would also check the hair curls, inner ear, eagle wing polishing, and eagle wing-neck gap for documented traits. If this is an MS example it is a rare bird, and I hope so.  There is one on VAMworld that is an MS coin, but it is also marked as needing to be reviewed.  Unfortunately the difference in "O Set Left" and "O Tilted Left" can be subtle, and I think subjective. It looks more like an "O Set Left" variety to me, but that is why I hate doing this by photo.  I am working on a study of those starting this month for the 1881-O.  Unfortunately this takes a 13 VAM analysis to complete, so no small task.  If you have an interest in VAMing and in the 1881-O you can follow along over the next few months. <a href="http://www.1881o.com/2019-03.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.1881o.com/2019-03.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.1881o.com/2019-03.html</a> Also, thanks for using the web site for analysis.  That is why I built it and it is always nice to hear that others found the data helpful.[/QUOTE]
