[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 45404, member: 1765"]The striations behind the eagle's neck are die polishing marks. While polishing here is quite common with this reverse, the distinct parallel lines are interesting. They wouldn't constitute a new VAM number, though. The obverse has a repunched 82 on the right edge of the numerals, and the spur on the diagonal of the 2 (below the ball) shows up on various 1882 repunched date coins. Were I to attribute the coin just from the date, I'd probably say it was a VAM 13. The picture of the U is somewhat interesting. Which U is this, and am I seeing rather sloppy doubling on the top right serif, similar to on many 1878 obverses or is this something else? John[/QUOTE]
