The two marriages do not share common obverse markers. # 1878-CC VAM 19.1/19B is the earlier marriage, & the odd lumps around the E of ONE from the hub are polished away to traces part way thru this marriage. They are never present on a 1878-CC VAM 19.2/19A. # The four key things anyone needs for the 19 reverse are the left C heavier than right C mintmark, the B1 long nock, the crack thru the bottom of DOLLAR & the little vertical gouge in the gap between the eagle's neck & wing (see below).
