Here are some pictures of a 1902-O. I'll try to identify the VAM later. Took some pictures of some strange areas on the coin.
Lots of die gouges or polishing lines on eagle. I have Morgans with hundreds of tiny squiggly lines in this same area. These are long and wider... and less than a dozen lines.
There's a bump on the 2. Reminded me of the 1882-P VAM-1A with the dot on the 2. This is more of a raised area on the surface. Dent in the die?
The top left of the S on the obverse is flat. Is that from a filled die?
Thin gouge through eagle's beak.
Profile is doubled at nose and neck.
Left wreath has a die chip. Looks like a thorn.
Spike on top left of mint mark. I think it's just another die chip.
IN GOD WE TRUST looks like it's raised. I think the die was just overpolished? There is metal flowing around the letters. The E is filled.
