Morgan VAM. 41B II 2 · B/Ak (7 TF, Clashed Obverse n) (180) Obverse II 2- Small die gouge line to right of lower cotton leaf of top two. [[clashed dies w/ partial incuse n of In from reverse showing next to Liberty's neck. Later die state of VAM-41 but reported later than VAM-41A. DPIS – In 1878 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # This coin is basically the [[1878-P VAM-41 but with the [[clashed dies and no additional [[Die Polishing. Thus, the 7/7 TF feature remains on the VAM-41B. The [[1878-P VAM-41A and [[1878-P VAM-41C are related as well, but occurred after major [[Die Polishing and have the 7/4 TF feature. It is a fantastic progression to follow, but the suffix letters are not in chronological order of die life stage due to being discovered out of order. This coin qualifies as a [[Top 100 Morgan VAMs VAM variety, since the [[1878-P VAM-41 is [[Top 100 Morgan VAMs for 7/7 tailfeathers and VAM-41B shares the same tailfeathers.
