<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2814311, member: 86305&quot;]I started following this one because it was listed as an 1881-O and I knew the features looked like a VAM 1D - Flaky Eye.&nbsp; But then when you look at the reverse the image is of an 1881-S.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]659392[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]659393[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]659394[/ATTACH] </p><p>So we are left with three options for those of you who might be thinking about VAMing.</p><p>1. The eBay seller posted the wrong reverse picture (most likely)</p><p>2. The New Orleans Mint shipped this obverse die to San Francisco for some reason and they used it. (Very unlikely but stranger things have happened)</p><p>3. The Flaky Eye feature is from a master die and working dies were created for New Orleans and San Francisco.
