On the reverse, die polishing lines fill the left "C" of the mintmark. It's worth repeating that every [[1882-CC VAM-2 die stage has these features in common. # [[1882-CC VAM-2, [[1882-CC VAM-2A1, [[1882-CC VAM-2A2 & [[1882-CC VAM-2B1 show the top of a misplaced "1" below the first "8" in the date. # The extraneous die polishing marks under the first and second stars to the right of the date are only present on [[1882-CC VAM-2, [[1882-CC VAM-2A1 and [[1882-CC VAM-2A2. " # Both C's in Mint Mark are filled on some examples.
