Comments: # This exact obverse die was used to produce the 1881-S VAM-1A1 & 1881-S VAM-42. # In the later die stage of the obverse, there is a chip between loops of the first 8 on the right side. # The scratch through the hair curl is quite visible on both die stages. # This exact reverse die was used to produce the 1881-S VAM-1A1 & 1881-S VAM-67. 1A1 is known in PL so perhaps it was first. # This die pair shares NO die with the 1881-S VAM-1A.
