I was lucky enough to have seen my 1881 0 Hit List 40,
WOW FLAKY EYE VAM 1D, awhile back and jumped on it online.
It is not graded, but looks like a GEM UNC, to me, with
beautiful mirrored fields, both obv and rev.
I noticed several other 'maybe' die markers, beside the
flaky eye, that I didn't see on the Vam 1D page.
The tiny dot on the upper inside of the 1st 8.
The chatter on Liberty's neck.
The lines, between the wheat leaves, below the I and B, of
PLURIBUS and lower between the leaves.
The other number of lines and metal, in LIBERTY.
The lines, that I 'pointed out', on the other maybe
die markers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Bert

Nice additional PUPs but I can't say honestly that I can see anything BUT the eye flakes. They are mesmerizing. Oh, and I'm still hunting for my own one of these... Loverly coin, Bert.

You sure do have some purdy coins Bert!
Proud winner of Worst new Vammer of the year 

Re: I88I O FLAKY EYE VAM 1D
Yeah, this is one of those where you don't even need a magnifying glass to see it, so additional pickups on the obverse aren't going to come into play. They might on the reverse if there were multiple reverses used with the obverse, but for this variety that isn't the case.
