Jack,

I believe that is a 1879-O Vam-28 Doubled 87, the die crack gave it away. And a nice find by the way!

Fyling Cougar13, Ibzman350, and coinbuf are correct, Vam-28.

Bonus question: What is the known population of VAM-28? (Hint: guess between 2 and 28)

The correct number is 10. Coinbuf was closest and is the winner.

He wins a 1921-D vam-1W, slabbed by ANACS at AU50.
