VAM 79 Dies

VAM 79 - Doubled Left 8, Notched Right 1 is another of our discovery VAMs and is a pairing of Obverse Die 54 with Reverse Die a.  As of December 2021 we have only one example of VAM 79, an Almost Uncirculated 55.

 

The obverse of the coin is free of any die cracks, but the reverse has many cracks even though at this grade they often disappear.  The pattern on the reverse for the die cracks does not match up with any other VAM at this point.  It appears that the die is beginning to fail in a number of areas.

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