1880-S VAM 71

Post by vampicker » Fri Jan 20, 2023 10:27 pm

It's in the 'dubious' group on the attribution pages on our site with no images. The original listing had a single plate in the 1999 LVA update. Had a coin on my desk today that appears to be a match to the point I called it a VAM 71 on the holder.
The coin itself is kinda trashy, so it was hard to get pics. The doubling at the lower left inside of the 0 paired with the doubled profile is pretty convincing.

probably should tag @fogie so he actually sees this before the thread gets buried. It's a small circle of folks that would actually care about this

Thank you! I will add the pics to the VW page and move it from the "Dubious section" to the "normal" section!.
