[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 97846, member: 1749"]The thin single feather added on eagle's right side narrows it down quite a bit. I only see three reverse dies listed that match the image and description. A2/A1b A2/A1c A2/A1d VAMs 19, 20, and 21 have these reverses. Your picture of the left wreath does not have the extra berry. This eliminates VAM 19. VAM 21 does have an overpolished nostril, but other characteristics don't seem to match. LIBERTY is shifted slightly left. Your coin is not a slight shift, and it's up and left. The VAM 21 photo of LIBERTY doesn't match your photos. This eliminates VAM 21. VAM 20 has LIBERTY shifted up and left, like your coin. It shares the same obverse die as VAM 18. I guessed VAM 18 earlier because of the doubling, tripling, etc. The obverse of VAM 20 would be the same. The photo of LIBERTY on this obverse matches your coin. I'm thinking it's a VAM 20... which is a HOT 50 coin! There are probably some more photos of this variety on the internet. Can you take a picture of the neck area where the coin looks clashed? The other photos were too low on the neck. You want to cover the area like the example photo shown below. If a letter was transferred, it might be a sub-variety.
