I think we can put the VAM 1E2 to rest as the the lower hair does not match the subject coin on the obverse and the neck-wing junction on the reverse is remarkably different-see images below. In regard to VAM 11, it is true that the first 8 is temptingly close to the subject coin, but , the balance ...

In examining the images of the 1E series, the only illustration close to the subject coin is the first image of the 1E2 under the title "ADDITIONAL PHOTOS: More Photos from the re-instated Coin Submitted to LVA in 2011". It illustrates the crack emerging to the left from the neck and continuing to t...

Below, please find images of the Neck-Jaw clash, along with a second view of the lower hair VEE. Just quickly, with the coin in hand, I do not see evidence of I,N,G or R,U,S,T letter transfer on the obverse. Letter transfer from clashing on the reverse is also absent. At this point, my gut feeling i...

Thank you Albannach for your analysis...much appreciated. With regret I have to say that I am unable to match the VAM 15A with the subject coin. None of the die markers match any of the ones illustrated in my post. Also, I have not been able to match the subject coin to any other 1882 VAM. VAM 15 st...

Thank you MarkyB for your response! Yes, it appears that the die cracks match up with VAM 15.

The first is of the subject coin with an image of the l...
