1878 8TF Vam help needed - many pics - big ones

OK, I am sure I am just overlooking a variety, but I thought I looked at everyone of them and can't get this one. Some of the items noticed are:

- Over polished ear, almost exactly matches the 14.2
- Over polished eye similar to the 17
- Doubled/tripled left stars
- Broken doubled right stars
- Strongly doubled Liberty
- Doubled/tripled obverse lettering and date

Reverse
- The entire reverse appears to have different degrees of doubling, some maybe triple or more. Even eagles wing feathers

Please help experts, I would love a new 78 8TF find, but I am sure there is a VAM for this one. See pics

  • Vam-21
  • Thanks, I believe your right. Does the 21 have the over polished ear like the 14.2? Thats what really interested me on this purchase.
