'''DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: '''Comments: # The early die state of this VAM can be identified by the clashing above the cap on the obv, the pitted inside of the ear, & the E clash on the rev. The EDS differs from the MDS [[1883-O VAM-36A in that the EDS has a more prominent E clash, also there is no additional clashing on the obv aside from the clashing above the cap. Also, the reverse of the EDS [[1883-O VAM-V36A shows polish lines in the fields especially above the eagle's wings & around head. The bridge crack above the mint mark is not present on earlier die states. A very faint back of cap clash can be found at the tip of the right wreath on the rev, but all other clashing was effectively polished away (except for E & wheat clashes near mint mark). # Die Progression Analysis Link: -1883-O VAM-36A Die State Comparisons
