Just picked this one up today. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the vam, notice the large die crack on the reverse.
I should also mention that on the obverse there is some extremely strong doubling on some letters and stars.
I would guess VAM 38. I think the tail feathers match and it has strong doubling on the obverse. LIBERTY is also shifted left as shown in your image. I have a VAM 38. I was just looking at some of the images I took. It shows some cracks on the reverse that match the placement on yours... however, your coin looks like a later die state. I don't have the coin at home, so I can't examine it in detail. Here are some of the images I have of my 1878-P VAM 38... pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 pic5
