<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1990571, member: 15199"]The VAM 4 is a doubled die, so it wasn't a change made on purpose. Most of the VAM were not, it just didn't matter much to many collectors where the CC mintmark was micro-located or angled, as long as it was in the 'normal area'. Also many repair jobs on dies produced VAMs and if the repaired die failed quickly, it may have been a long time before it was noticed. In the early days of collecting, even the difference between a CC and S wasn't considered other than normal, collecting by mintmarks would come later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
