<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 5404241, member: 1765&quot;]If the clashed letters can&#039;t be seen, it&#039;s VAM 19A. It&#039;s unclear to me as to when and how the clashed letters appeared and disappeared.&nbsp; They may have been polished off or they may have worn off.&nbsp; The extensive polishing on the reverse of VAMs 19A and 19B seems to indicate they were partially polished off after the first clash, then wore off later.&nbsp; Polishing lines also fade with die wear, so those above the cap may not be present on later die stages.&nbsp; However it happened, the premium on VAM 19B is the same as 19A and 19 -- small.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with these really weak clashes is that there&#039;s a big gray area regarding whether they&#039;re there or not.&nbsp; On lustrous coins like this, my test is whether or not it&#039;ll show up on a photo I take for a label.&nbsp; On circulated or darker coins, it&#039;s more complicated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
