<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3204292, member: 1765"]Based on those pictures, the subject coin and VAM 2 have different obverses. Date positions are measured by the distance between the tip of the bust and the left edge of the base of the 1. Laterally centered is a distance of 2 1/2 denticles. A near date is 2 or less, and a far date is 3 or more. There is a more precise description of date position, but that's not neede here. The VAM 2 has a date position on the left side of normal, but not near, while the subject coin is roughly centered in the normal position. If both have the same reverse cracks, then the reverse was used with both obverses. One die marriage will only be known with the reverse break at the wreath, while the other probably with and without.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
