Guess the VAM 1887 P

RVDavis

This is another new purchase. I want to call this a VAM 14A but the reverse wing spike and die cracks are absent. Heavily clashed on the reverse. Interesting die chip or clash from the reverse opposite the eagle's beak, it looks like a spitting eagle. On the obverse, double clash is very evident throughout. I don't think I have seen Liberty's nose and chin like this, and there is a strong double clash in the vee of Liberty's neck. On the other side, in Liberty's hair there is all kind of action. Look at the spikes above and below first big hair vee. Lower vee, there is a doubled letter clash. Anyone have a VAM number to suggest?

Just a wild thought here... is there by any chance a partial E under the eagle's tailfeather tips?

Dennis,

Nope not that I can see. There is quite a bit of 'shadow' image above IGWT and the usual clash marks around the wreath. This one has me stumped.

Looks like a VAM 3A double clashed t. A member of the SUPER CD's called "Misty".

Here's a coin I own...





and then a copy of Leroy's image.

Anyone have a value on 1887 VAM 3A? I can't seem to locate any transactions other than a 45 about 18 months ago.
