1880-P VAM-60

Here are a few photos of a 1880-P VAM-60 which was recently moved back to the official listings. V60/60A share the same reverse die with V69.

Hello, here is the V89 discovery coin. Although it isn't listed on the V89 page, this coin is a later use of the V26 reverse die.
Just added the emission sequence to the VAM 89 page. It was already on the VAM 26 page.
Thanks, I appreciate it very much!

Re: Vam identification purely from placement of design elements

Here are a couple photos that some people may find interesting. It is a overlay I did a few weeks ago to confirm that the V98 was not a V15. It may help visualize how much offset you may see between digits.

Re: 1880-P VAM-89 Discovery

I just finished uploading a few higher resolution photos for this to the SSDC registry if anybody wants to see larger photos. It really makes a difference on the full coin photos.

Re: 1880-P VAM-89 Discovery

There are several clash marks that appear on the reverse and I can confirm these appear during the V26 pairing. No letter transfers appear here.

The results of my submission are: I sent in examples of V60 and V62 and now those are both listed again. I sent in examples of V62, V62B, and...
