1878 Rev. 79, VAM 226A?

Is this a VAM 226A? or ? This low grade example makes it a bit difficult to attribute.

Re: 1901 O VAM?(3)

Thanks keilg1 for responding. I believe it is a VAM 46...After looking for the 3 vertical lines at the bottom of the eagle's right wing, I came up short, because there were none on the subject coin that I could identify (see image (1) below). Incidentally, the image on the web page of the lower righ...

1901 O VAM?(3)

The subject coin in this instance is a C4/C3 2 olive reverse. The obverse date placement appears to be set at a normal 2.4. The reverse appears similar to the previous 1901 O (1) with hub doubling of the reverse lettering (not shown in the reverse images below). The main obverse marker appears to be...

The following coin (images below) appears to exhibit a slanted date, set at ‘normal right’. The reverse (C3) mintmark appears to be set high, upright and slightly right.

Re: 1901 O VAM?

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 ...

Re: 1901 O VAM?

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...

Re: 1901 O VAM?

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 ‘...

Thanks to all who responded. Using the images and descriptions from the requisite VAM web pages, it appears to me that the subject coin exhibits all the major PUPs of VAMs 10, 35 & 53(descriptions below from the web pages). I may be wrong and would appreciate specifics to the contrary of my descript...
