Th eagle's right wing (viewer's left) where it connects to the leg is usually the key to attributing the 1878-S series. There are a few VAMs that would fit this obverse description but the wing should pinpoint it. . .

This is a wing picture from VAMworld.com

Here is the wing

Interesting picture, I'll take a look at my notes when I'm home for lunch. . .


Thanks!

The wing looks like that of VAM 31, which shares the obverse with VAM 29, which matches the features you describe on the obverse. This is a better 1878-S VAM, IMO. . .
