  No Sir,, it is a reflection of a scratch on the plastic. There is however a faint die crack from the center of the "E" to the top ot the "U" in E PLURIBUS, that does not show in the photo very well .Does that help.

  . One from the top of the "1" passed the first star, and a long one in three stars in front of the chin. And the obvious one on the rev on the top.Does that help.

  .
  are those big die chips on ME in america on rev?
  
  shoo, that relfection aka gouge below the date sure would have been one heck of a neat one so long as it wasn't a strike-thu.
  
  the images are fuzzy, is that because they were enlarged or is the camera's resolution is set low? maybe hand shake from pressing the shutter release button?

  You can narrow your search by looking through the Vamworld.com listings for 1878-CC Vams with B1 reverse.
  The 1878-CC varieties with the Long Nock (B1) reverse are organized on the 1878-CC index in to 4 main sub categories.
  
  I'm tentatively attributing it as VAM 29.

  The "die chip " is More scratches on the plastic. My camera work is a bit lacking and with a small pocket camera. Not the best ,Sorry. But I will describe anything you need.
  
  Thank you for the input with the VAM. I will go to the link. I did not know about it before.
