Its just worn down from wear ..

 

I tried to send these to you Rick, but I couldn't figure hire out how

 

Take a image of the mint-mark, lets see what it looks like ..

 

Slanted to the right

 

Does anything else match up with vam #2 Heres the link http://www.vamworld.com/1893-CC+VAM-2

 

Make sure you look at 2A too . Heres the link http://www.vamworld.com/1893-CC+VAM-2A

 

The 3 is open, couldn't tell in the VAM 2A though

 

I think its a vam #2, I don't see a clashed " N " check your coin with the images posted on vam world . ( vam #2 ) Then read the " Comment " for that vam ...

 

Are the pics good enough?

 

I didn't see what it meant by the clashed N other then the tiny mark by the neck, which I didn't see in mine

 

Make sure you check for this:

1893-CC VAM-2


1893-CC VAM-2 CC Tilted Right
Discovered by Melvin Carmichael, August 1951.

2 III2 1 - C3b (CC Tilted Right) I-2 R-3
Obverse III2 1- Some specimens show die chip in 3 on right side between loops.
Reverse C3b - Mint mark tilted to right

COMMENTS: Late die stage specimens are particularly desirable as these are believed to be among the very last coins struck at the Carson City Mint. Twelve branch mint proofs are reported and were struck from a strongly re-polished stage of this marriage.

Date position


CC tilted right with the upper serif of the first C centered under the bow knot


The specific obverse die may be further identified by several horizontal lines within
a gap in Liberty's hair directly behind her jaw. These are present on all stages of
this die including the branch mint proofs.
If it were a late die stage it would have this :
Late die stage examples of this marriage are identified by the presence of two
strong 'cap vee' clashmarks between the wreath bough and wing along with fine
cracks thru the letters of AMERICA as pictured. On the proof examples, the die
is polished to a mirror finish with just the tip of the 'vee' clashes remaining. The
cracks thru AMERICA are still visible. The proofs are thought to be the last coins
struck at the Carson City Mint.
A late die stage business strike

 

Your isn't vam 2A ...

 

Mine doesn't have the V die break

 

Thats a later die stage then your, but their all part of vam #2 . The more the die wears, the later the stage will be 2A, 2B, 2C, and so on, the best part about vam #2 they think it was the last die used to strike coins at the CC MINT

 

Make sure you check this image, it goes with vam #2 the crack in AMERICA is a later die stage of vam #2 . I put a circle around the polishing lines .

 

Is that the hair?

 

I think it is the VAM 2!!

 

Check and see if DOLAR is doubled. Sometimes it has two Ls.

 

Heres the literature with the image : The specific obverse die may be further identified by several horizontal lines within
a gap in Liberty's hair directly behind her jaw. These are present on all stages of
this die including the branch mint proofs.
