VAM-14.3 has the A1m reverse which was also used to strike proof Morgans. The reverse has doubling that is noticeable in the wreath and the obverse has polishing lines that can be used for identification. # LDS is 2-sided clashed, but no letter transfer and hence not a listable sub-variety. VAM 14.10 has this obverse clashed die.
