Die/VAM Matrix
VAM 34 - Doubled 18 is a pairing of Obverse Die 23 with Reverse Die a. Obverse Die 23 is used only with VAMs 34 and 34A, with 34A being the pinned wing version of the two die states.
VAM 34 is either elusive, rare, or has been superseded by later discoveries. We have only one lonely coin, and it is an AU50, so not a great study coin for die cracks and breaks.
However, VAM 34A, the Pinned Wing variety, shows no die cracks and we have 18 of those. So we might reasonably assume that higher grade VAM 34 coins would also show no die cracks or breaks.
Die cracks are shown in green and die breaks in red. Click on any image for a larger view.
