Hi all,
Newly afflicted vammer here - lovely community and repository of die varieties here - love it!
I believe I've looked through all the title descriptions of the 1891 O vams, and many but not all of the reverse pics but could not find what I have I think.
Which vam is this? Or could it be a fake?
Sorry about the lousy non-closeup images - I don't have a macro camera or a way of doing closeup photos - camera I'm using just does not focus at closer distances.
Notice the mintmark O displaced to the right. I presume this transposition / displacement is due to a die variety, or I don't know what I'm talking about.
Unseen in the photo, there is also a finer than hairline what looks like a die break between the T and A or A and T in STATES. Don't have the coin in front of me atm, but will double check on the exact hairline fracture location later.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Take a look at VAM 13

thank you lured! you got it, i'm certain! maybe the title of that vam should include "right shifted mintmark" or similar.
subsequent question, if pcgs doesn't list this vam, https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/189 ... d-e/133938 is it safe to say it's pretty ordinary and doesn't command a premium, or is there a better resource with a more expanded set of vam values?
it's a bit difficult and daunting searching this forum, hundreds of results come up, many unrelated or not for 1891 o and i'm not sure how to due an exact serach like "1891 o" to return exclusively 1891 o previous posts.
