Re: 1884 S VAM?

Many thanks to LDMG and UB for their responses. This confusion is largely averted in the Large Cent regime as every die and die pair is given respect along with (O)die number, (R)die letter & (pair)Sheldon number. In this instance the subject coin is a III2 3 /C3e and the Web page exhibits a III2 2 ...

Sorry about the mintmark not being designated High. I like the idea that the obverse could be VAM 35 with the die crack through ‘01’ (putting aside for the moment that it lacks a doubled profile). The reverse of the VAM 10 seems closest with the doubled reverse legend (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (hub ...

I would be more than glad to put the VAM 35 attribution on the subject coin. However, there is no indication in the description or images of the VAM 35, that a High ‘O’ mintmark is present. If there were an indication of High ‘O’, wouldn’t the VAM 35 be listed with the VAM 10 and VAM 53 under the C4...

OK…lets for the moment ignore the doubled profile of the subject coin. Some may attribute the doubled profile to die erosion or machine doubling etc., and as such, ignore its presence. Then, I would agree that the obverse is likely to be that of the VAM 35, as the presence of the die crack through ‘...
