Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: The VAM-14.17 is an extreme ultra rarity with perhaps 5 or 6 known. It is among the most difficult of all the ultra-rare 8 tail feather coins to locate. This is an 8 Tailfeather Morgan variety. The A1c reverse is shared by VAMs 3, 4, 5, 14.6, 14.7, 14.11, 14.12, 14.14, 14.17 and 14.18. All but VAMs 3 & 4 are major rarities.
