The 1879-S B Reverses Composition is missing VAM-39.
Also, please take a look at ssdc message board for 79s v99.
Thanks,

On SSDC, 79s B rev slot #10 needs to be updated back to VAM-39 (not VAM-135)

Based on the rotation, the marking you pointed out is impossible to be part of the "E".
Imo is just a scuffed.

I think you both (vamsterdam and Vam-mysterio) are correct.
