Description

1880-P VAM-28A Doubled Second 8, Tripled 0, Clashed Obverse n & st Discovered by C. Logan McKechnie December 2004.Revised 2011. 28A (revised) III246 · C3a (Doubled Second 8, Tripled 0, Clashed Obverse n & st) (181) Obverse III2 46– Clashed die with faint partial incuse n of In from reverse showing as short tick next to Liberty's neck and faint partial incuse st of Trust from reverse showing in right hair vee of lower hair edge. Couple faint lines down from lower lip on later die states. Reverse C3a– Normal die Notes: The 1880-P VAM-47 was eliminated as a duplicate of 1880-P VAM-28 so 1880-P VAM-47A became 1880-P VAM-28A. Leroy comments were written when 1880-P VAM-28A was still 1880-P VAM-47A. Leroy " When I made listing of 1880-P VAM-47A, only had one coin with clashed n & st which was a late die state-later than your two coins. So faint lines at lip lip must have happened on only late die state & I have changed 1880-P VAM 47 listing description to reflect that." Slight doubling of some leaves in left wreath not strong enough to mention." The 1880-P VAM-28A comes single, double, and triple clashed. 1880-P VAM-28 and 1880-P VAM-28A were both struck from the exact same pair of dies. The "Lines at the mouth/chin" occured AFTER the dies clashed - there is at least 1 example with 1 clash and NO "lines".
