VAM 72 Dies

VAM 72 - Doubled 18, Polished Forehead is a pairing of Obverse Die 42 with Reverse Die a.  As of June 2021 we have six examples of VAM 72, but only two mint state coins, so not a lot of material to work with.   The die cracks do not show well on the discovery coin which is an AU53.  These images are from a Mint State 63 coin where things are just more prominent.

 

The obverse of the discovery coin shows no die cracks but the reverse has some significant cracks that appear around the rim.

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