VAMWorld 2.0

Chip in tailfeather

Trying to figure out what's going on the the mm especially...is it O/O? What's going on in the middle and with the bow? Also has a few die chips and maybe a spike in 1st 8? VAM?

1 and 2 are the same with different angles as well as 3 and 4

Went to a local store while out of town. Found this beauty. He doesn't care about VAMs so it was a good price. Pics aren't great I didn't bring my loop since I didn't think about visiting a shop

I would be willing to send it in for die study.

When I was looking at it I thought LDS of maybe a 6c but I wasn't sure with the additional cracks in bonnet and the stars plus the wearing of the letters especially towards the rim maybe from polishing?

I see what you mean. I didn't even look at the date. The mm is tough due to it being a lower grade coin but I just wasn't sure. Attached is better picture of the date

1st L in Dollar

More pics, I don't see any date doubling.

Also looking for help with the Vam Identification.

Pic 3 is 5th star left obverse

Pic 4 is 1st star left obverse

I didn't think it was but I got this 1895 O and I thought it was a 3A but it's tilted right. Is it a different Vam? Is it not tilted?

What makes this cool wave like pattern?

Does the Vam 3A have a mint mark tilted right?

I see it now...here is the 5th star left so it is aleast double clashed. How can I tell if it is 3 clash? The links aren't working in the VAM for me. Also are these leaves and berries abive the eye or are my eyes just playing tricks lol?

Whole coin and more below date and above UNUM

More pictures

The whole motto is doubled like the picture. Not sure what is going on by denticles below date, there is a crack between 78.

How do I differentiate or learn to differentiate? I mean most damage I can just know but the thing like the breast and the shoulder look like cracks or breaks to me.

Any other thoughts on motto, rim, breast, thread like under motto, and right shoulder?

1st is left upper breast of eagle

2nd is eagle right shoulder

This is from a 1878 Vam 141A but in the full pictures for the 141 and 141A the motto and rims looked OK so I wasn't sure if it was post production or production.
