Also has radial die crack thru M in UNUM that has slight displaced field break on late die states. DPIS – In 1878 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: 1878-P VAM-81, 1878-P VAM-33A, 1878-P VAM-33, 1878-P VAM-30, 30A :Reverse: Comments: # As stated, the late stage of the VAM 30 marriage with the cracks found on all examples more advanced.
