Re: 1879 O Reverse clash help

Update: VAM-29 - No letter transfer, so clash was irrelevant to attribution. Noted: Doubled reverse hub like the 78 C3b dies but listing was prior to discovery of working dies from 78 hub for this date. Piece is consistent with the 1 Van Allen plate from the 1999 update and the images on VAM World. ...

Re: 1879 O Reverse clash help

Yikes what to do, I am able to see a T and a very faint N << really hard to see and yet I cant find a VAM with same reverse. I also see the bridge of nose between leaves and slight doubling on a single leaf and reverse bow line. So you think ANACS will know what to do with it, the way the rep spoke ...

Re: 1879 O Reverse clash help

Ready to ship to ANACS but they say if there is no known VAM it will come back without so I either have to find the VAM (which I can not) or send in for attribution BEFORE grading to include on label, UUuggghhhh so I guess the next step is attribution and hope for the best LOL

Re: 1879 O Reverse clash help

I think maybe it is an early stage VAM-24. It has some of the same features PLUS I have hard time seeing letters lol. The overlay is genius LOL it helps A LOT thanks.....

Re: 1879 O Reverse clash help

Hummmm, After reading up more it seems only clashed letters on obverse and reverse are listed. So I guess the question to the members is this coin worth sending for attribution?? I personally think these are large and major design elements (spike top wing I think is her forehead) and MAYBE might mak...

Re: Help with clashes

Thanks Kenny,

Im just learning about VAMs and trying to find what made these kind of marks on reverse. I was guessing clashing but not really sure, are these clashes on reverse or something else??

Although there are clashes on obverse,and the reverse, I cant find another coin with the reverse clashes, one is a spike on top of the left wing and the other on right along br...
