For the VAM-Handicapped, I need some arrows and circles to tell what's what!

The classic VAM-41 is a 7 over 7 TF coin, Top 100. 41A is a later die state, less extra tail feathers.

The 1887 VAM-5 is a double date, scarce to rare in high grades. Also Top 100.

Nice finds, whats going on with the spiked eagles neck on that 87? Is that one of the diagnostics of the Vam 5?

Just a typical clash.

BTW, it looks like your 1878 is a VAM-41C, even if all the diagnostics are not evident in the image.
