<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 7353967, member: 1765&quot;]The reverse is definitely the VAM 70 reverse.&nbsp; The note on VW about sharing the reverse with a litany of others is very misleading.&nbsp; The C3b reverse means it&#039;s <b><i>a</i></b> &quot;Normal die of C3 type with very large centered and upright VI S mint mark.&quot;&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t mean there aren&#039;t other dies that fit this description, so that list of VAMs doesn&#039;t necessarily represent one die.&nbsp; It&#039;s between 1 and 10 in this case.&nbsp; I edited that page and the VAM 88 page to word it better, but there are hundreds of other pages with similar statements.&nbsp; On the obverse, it probably does represent a single die, because the doubling of the date is pretty unique.&nbsp; The nomenclature gets tricky when not all dates have been described and studied to the point of identifying every specific die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, a close-up of the date would make it fairly easy to confirm which VAM this is.&nbsp; Doubling on the 18 and the 0 go far to determining this.&nbsp; The second 8 is always doubled on the bottom left outside of the upper loop.&nbsp; If it is not VAM 70, then I&#039;ll add a note that VAM 70 and VAM whatever this is share a reverse die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
