Description

1882-P VAM-28 Dot 2, Possible 8 in Denticles, Gouges 1-2 Left Stars Discovery 2011; Revised 2017 28 (revised) III2 27-C3a (Dot 2, Possible 8 in Denticles, Gouges 1-2 Left Stars) (179) Obverse III2 27 - Small raised dot on 2 surface in middle of the bottom crossbar. Possible top of 8 showing in denticle space between 8's as sharply curved bar. Five sharp top raised curved gouges at denticles 1 & 2 left stars. Ear slightly doubled at right inside on LDS. Die marker - Tiny die chip at top of E in LIBERTY. Notes: You should see the chip in the `E` of LIBERTY, as plated for 1882-P VAM-26. The EDS 1882-P VAM-28 (full coin below) is an extremely elusive variety, 3 are known in this state (as of Jan. 2013). The early state that exhibits the 5 distinct gouges has proven to be quite rare. The Mid/late states (Former 1882-P VAM-1A or "Dot 2") of this variety are far easier to locate. As of late 2020, the EDS is still fairly elusive and could still be thought of as rare. It is not prohibitively rare however.
