<p>[QUOTE="brinssig, post: 5403886, member: 12147"]I am having trouble verifying an 1878s dollar as a VAM 19B. A coin dealer looked at the coin with a microscope but was unable to detect the clashed letters on the front of the coin. Is there any other way to determine if the coin is a VAM 19B other than the clashed letters on the front? Is there much of a difference in the price between the VAM 19A and VAM 19B? The coin looks like it is either semi-proof-like or proof-like on the front and there appears to be extensive polishing lines on front of the coin. Perhaps the clashed letters were erased from all of the die polishing? The die clash in front of the neck appears to have been shortened from die polishing.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/jnsAAOSwgedeLZ3X/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~SkAAOSwzYteLZ4j/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
