Note the alignment of the CC where the right side of the CC lines up w/ the curve of the bow to the left of the bow knot. There is also a dot of metal in the left C of the CC mintmark that is not present in [[1878-CC VAM-6 & [[1878-CC VAM-18. Although the Top 100 book claims the 1878-CC VAM-24 is more rare than the 1878-CC VAM-6 or 1878-CC VAM-18, it appears that the 1878-CC VAM-18 is actually the toughest of the varieties. 1878-CC VAM-24 is certainly a tough find in its own right!
