1885-P VAM-??

[andywoj00]

Need some input on this one. I wanna say 1G, but die cracks are off. There is a tick on the neck for letter transfer.
Any advice is appreciated....Andy

Its like a 1A2 without pitting. 4A maybe?

Thanks for the reply.
Probably not the 1A2 as the pitting has to be there, clash line at neck and reverse n don't match along with other markers. Markers for the 4A aren't there either.
The hunt continues.....

Boy looks like a 1G in some ways but the date doesn't match up? Don't think it this quite yet but some of the reverse cracks look similar - but not identical.

Definitely not a 1A.

Can you confirm reverse?
C3c
C3b
C3a

Hey Mitch,
Don't have the coin in hand yet. Once I do, I'll check and post.
Are the pics insufficient to do this? As I look at the pic, it has all of the following. How does one determine the final hub?

C3-Left serif of A in AMERICA cut down so it is further from wing, bottom feather of eagle's right wing squared off and raised.
a-seven tail feathers
b-round breast
c-slanted top arrow feather

I suspect it's a c3c reverse but the wrong image
Of obverse is posted.

This was the auction pic, so I don't know

Turns out this coin looks like a later stage 24A. Alligator eye not seen in auction pics.

I posted a photo spread at SDP if anyone is interested in looking.

There are other questions. Break to the left of the LIBERTY banner appears to have some displacement. Would this warrant a new listing? There are other breaks as well. Also some star doubling as well and the top flag of the 1 being doubled.

@messydesk please advise on sending in to VSS and thanks....Andy

I don't see anything warranting a new listing if that's what you're wondering. Minor cracks with dubious claims to field displacement have done a lot to muddy the waters of attributing coins. I would probably add a couple pictures to the VW page showing cracks that develop later, since that aren't that visible on the existing photos.

Yes, that's what I was wondering. I'll add some pics as well. Thanks.
