VAMWorld 2.0

The mint polished the die when they prepared them. Unfortunately, sometime they polished it a bit too much. The result is some devices got thinner. Compare 85-O VAM-4 vs VAM-1C. Look at the "trust" from the full coin photo. You can definitely see that the VAM-1C is thinner than VAM-4. So as mentione...

Look for micro usb to usb-C converter

Hats off

Roger - thank you for the research.
In this instance, it still doesn't explain why the S mint were reusing the old 79S rev die when they have so many new dies.

Very nice find

Based on your photo, I can't tell if there is or there is not a die gouge at O of DOLLAR on the reverse.
If the gouge not there, then it's not VAM-1D.
There are many other 81-S listing with the spike inside 1st 8.

Recently, Vam-mysterio had done a lot of die study which resulting many new 1879-S discoveries. One of them is 79S VAM-18B which shared rev die with 79S VAM-85 and with further collaborated study... also shared with 80S VAM-45A :o . Imo, this got to be the coolest news I've heard in a long time. Yes...

@vamsterdam, you started a monster set .
I recall about 10 plus years ago when you showed me one of them at LB coin show. Been chasing them ever since.

For all who enjoy 79s rev78, there is a new set on SSDC. In specific, the set contain 79S rev79 that shared Obverse die with the 79S rev78. Thank you Brent for adding this very challenging set.

Rim burr?

Brent, please add 1879-S VAM-130, 133, 136 and 142 to the SSDC Acidic collection.
Thanks

Lots of new very cool and rare discoveries. Congrats!
