<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 628300, member: 9167"]I've posted this elsewhere where apparently few people collect or are knowledegable of VAM's, so I thought I'd try my luck here. The not so great pics are of a 1886 P Morgan which fit some but not all of the diagnostic signs of a VAM 1C. The obverse has the markings of the die clash below the lips and faintly to the left of the eye. But, the reverse is where I get confused. Every description and illustration I've seen clearly shows two sets of wedge shaped clash marks in the field between the eagle's left wing and the wreath, a top set and a lower set. The coin in question only shows the top set with nothing at all below. So, is this still the VAM 1C or something else entirely? </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=51141&stc=1&d=1246382862" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=51142&stc=1&d=1246382862" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
