''' '''Obverse''' '''I1 11 –''' Radial die crack from denticles below 1 extending up along side of 1 to truncated neck with displaced field break all along the crack. Likely the break forced early retirement of die with short run in press because of PL fields. Led to being very rare die combo. '''Reverse A1c -''' Letters in UNITED doubled strongly on top and bottom. STATES OF AMERICA letters doubled at bottom. ONE DOLLAR letters doubled at top. Left wreath strongly doubled. Three small feathers added on eagle's right and two on eagle's left side between leg and bottom of wing. '''DPIS – In 1878 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: '''Comments: '''LVA Comments: # '''Comments: # The VAM-14.11 is an ultra rarity with perhaps a dozen known.
