VAM 4A Dies

VAM 4 - Doubled 8-1, Clashed Obverse n is a pairing of Obverse Die 3 with Reverse Die a, the same dies as VAM 4.  Reverse Die a is used in in a wide variety of VAM pairings.  As of October 2021 we have only one example of VAM 4A.  This coin is an AU 50, so not a great coin for examination.

 

But on close examination the coin does show the beginning of the reverse die cracks between AM.  This is the same location of die cracks on VAM 4, but shorter because of wear.

Die cracks are shown in green and die breaks in red.  Click on any image for a larger view.
