VAM 4

VAMs

Primary Characteristics

4 - Doubled 8-1

Identified in 1967 by Leroy Van Allen

 

Obverse Hub III2 Die 3

The left 8 slightly doubled at the lower left inside of upper loop. The right 1 is doubled at the top and on the lower right side of vertical bar as a notch.  However the first 1 and second 8 can also be doubled making this a somewhat confusing VAM to identify.

 

Some coins show a vertical die scratch outside the L in LIBERTY on the headband.  There are a few small horizontal lines inside of the ear.

 

On some of our examples the coin is clashed but without letter transfer.

 

 

Reverse Hub C3 Die a

Normal Die but there are several leaves over polished in the left wreath.

 

Die Marker - There is a X diagonal polishing lines on the 5th and 6th inner feathers from the bottom of the eagle's left wing.
