I had found this 'very nice' ungraded 1882 O a long time ago and saw some interesting die markers and bought it.
The old VAMWORLD helped me attribute it, as a VAM 38B.
At the time it was rated an R-7
I see the die breaks, but I'm not sure where Clashed Obverse G, First t, t, D, Reverse M are.
I didn't see pictures of those on the VAM page.
I hope I posted all of my pictures.
Here are some pictures of mine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bert

    The obverse letter clashes can be very subtle and even disappear with toning and die use/wear. If visible, they are generally found in the null fields along her neck and the bottom of her hair. A nice Kimpton variety. A VAMer would be glad to have her.

    The clash notation and photos are actually shown in the earlier die state, VAM-38A.

    Obverse III24– Clashed die with faint arc of left edge of G of God next to Liberty head neck, partial incuse first t of Trust between hair locks to right of designer’s initial M, partial doubled incuse last t of Trust in right hair vee of lower hair edge from reverse God and Trust. Also has incuse partial center bars of D of DOLLAR from reverse below I of PLURIBUS.
    Reverse C3a– Clashed die with raised designer’s initial M from obverse showing above W of We. Diagonal die crack thru N of ONE with late die states showing breaks at rim and wreath leaf.

    Okay THANK YOU everyone and yosclimber THANK YOU, that VAM 38A shows pictures and explains everything.
    I finally learned the sequence, through trial and error, to get my digital microscope to work on my Windows 11 laptop.
    Here are some more pictures.
    THANK YOU again, Bert

    Do you own an example of the 1891-O VAM-1A with a "BERT" clash yet, Bert?

    One of my favorite VAMs. Probably not an R-7, they seem readily available. 38A without the radial die crack by date is much more elusive. I’ve only found one.

    Many happy BST transactions
