1888-O VAM-1A2 or 1A3?

Post by ChrisPaulis » Mon Jul 24, 2023 2:56 pm

@messydesk One of the coins you recently attributed for me was given a VAM-1A3; however, the VW listing says that no 1A3 has yet been found with the US greased out. Is this an exception, or should it be 1A2? It's your #019906

You have VAM 1A3. Grease filled dies don't matter for attributing these, and the assertion that was on the page was wrong. Maybe it was accurate at one time, but I don't know when it was added, since it was before the VW 1.0->2.0 migration.
