1891-CC VAM-8

Some additional images for that VAM. It is interesting in the significant gouge in the wreath bow. If anyone has a VAM-8, by other PUPs and missing that gouge, it will make the difference between a listing update and a potential VAM-8A new listing.

Might also note the pin gouge at the denticles below the first 1 in the date, probably not evident on all specimens.

Larger than usual G-turd.

Should probably document the reverse legend crack too.

PRETTY !

There is a minor cud developing near the first left star. This places it later than the VAM-8 discovery coin, which also exhibits clashing which is nearly gone on this coin. As clearly as I can tell, the gouge through the wreath bow that is present on this coin is not on the VAM-8 discovery coin. (Would like that confirmed in hand.) If so, this should warrant a VAM-8A listing. The gouge and overpolished interior of Liberty's ear seems to be the result of remediating the clashing.
