To be or not to be an 1887 Donkey Tail

Note the nublit of the tail,
Is this a VAM 25, VAM 25A Early Die State, or VAM 25A?
Most importantly, why?

Thank you... David

VAM 25 if it crossed my desk

Not to be. You have to have the full die break.

The vam 25
Has at least 4 die stages
The veds (I have 1 in au showing pl fields)
The eds where the die cracks barely shows
One that has full die cracks but no tail yet
And this one(the one you’re showing)
I believe this stage’s right before it Formed into a tail die break
To be the vam 25A it needs to be the vlds die break with the full tail

So how does the foggy outline around the 7 that looks like it could have been a 6 develop over these stages?

I’ll have to look into it
But I believe is just die wear/erosion
Resembling part of a 6
Just like an overdate 7/6

I looked for this earlier die stage for a while but have not found it. Is it scarce?

This is the second especimen I’ve seen
Thru the years
Seems this stage is pretty scarce

If it crossed your desk twice, would that count being double crossed?

Add some circulation grime and you have a dirty double crosser

Make it perishable circulation grime, and before long it'll be a dirty, rotten double crosser.

And, if it's the latter, which one did you keep? ...And why?
