<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3571537, member: 1765"]Doubled ear is VAM 2. The die chip you show happens to be on the VAM 2 obverse die, but it's considered minor and isn't really mentioned. It is different from the chip on the VAM 1A obverse die in location and size. When comparing die chips against those that are shown on a particular VAM, you need an exact match. Die chips can be like fingerprints on a die -- no two are exactly the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a die chip on Liberty's upper lip in addition to the doubled ear, you have a later, and rare, die stage known as VAM 2A. Still the same die, but with an additional die chip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
