1878 8TF Vam?

Trying to figure this one out.

The reverse is unquestionably A1f, which means it would have to be VAM 12, 16, or 17. It appears that the only choice among those three, noted by the fill in the bottom loop of the first 8, is the ultra common VAM 17. VAM 17 is known to have survived even in MS-66 in a majority of that certified population.

Aye. VAM 17. Common.

You get those white looking dies with no reflection left and circular die cracks, you've got to know that die struck a lot of coins, and it's not rare. The only major exception to that general rule are die breaks, but basically for 8TF coins
it's a stone cold, nothing here.
