1886 (p) VAM 1c?

Is this clash in the field to the right of the eagle the telltale for VAM 1c?

Not sure but nice Pics , Nice Coin signore !

 

You can also see it on her neck if you look close. Fairly common clash.

 

Don't know the vam but nice clash

 

More coin, less background and lower the wattage a bit.

 

That clash from the "Cap Vee" is pretty common. Try VAM 6B. What do you think John @messydesk ?

 

Definitely somewhere in the VAM-6 progression. Any sign of the clashed n?

 

No. VAM 1C has two groups of clashes separated by a nice die rotation of about 20°. This is a VAM 6, maybe 6A or 6B if any 'n' clashes are still present. This is the most common die marriage for 1886. Between that and the strong die erosion, I wouldn't be surprised if this die pair produced over 500,000 coins.

 

I'm thinking VAM-6. I don't see a clashed "n" or the die break at the date for the -6A or the multiple obv clashes for the -6B, or the die chip on the obv for the -6C. With the photos provided, I'm still at VAM-6. Thanks for sharing.

 

The most common die stage seems to be with multiple clashes and the 'n' clash faded away. I'm pretty sure VAM 6C doesn't exist, and was a planchet defect of some sort.
