<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1389997, member: 24633&quot;]One thing that you must bear in mind when searching the listings on VAMWorld is that the site uses a wiki-based protocol which means that any member there can add their own photos to the listings. Some of the members like to think they are helping by doing this, but in some cases their photos are useless and not very good. It&#039;s sort of like the guy who knows nothing about tuning up a car but while the mechanic is working on the car, the owner checks to see if the radiator cap is closed tightly. I can&#039;t say with all certainty if your coin is a VAM-1 or not. I would have to be able to examine the entire coin to check for any other markers to try to identify it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The two parallel marks between the eagle&#039;s right wing (viewer&#039;s left) and the &quot;n&quot; of IGWT indicate that the dies clashed at least twice, and like the cap vee, the second clash happened after the die had rotated slightly. This, too, is common, and does not ordinarily warrant attribution. The photos below are from my 1882-CC VAM-2C. The dies for this series of VAM&#039;s clashed numerous times, occasionally being polished and repolished only to clash again. The photos show that the dies not only rotated between clashes, but also produced some cool counterclashes as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
