Description
=1884-O VAM-29B O/O Centered High, Doubled Ear, Far Date, Die Chip Star = Discovered Brent Fogelberg, 8/2017. 29B III217 · C3i (O/O Centered High, Doubled Ear, Far Date, Die Chip Star) (181) Obverse III217– Die crack thru left stars with die chip on outside of sixth left star. (Formerly VAM-29A) DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # 1884-O VAM-29, 1884-O VAM-29A, & 1884-O VAM-29B were all struck from the exact same pair of dies. It appears that this pair of dies serviced a great many planchets and the dies suffered a good deal of wear before being retired. The distinction between the 1884-O VAM-29 & 1884-O VAM-29A is, unfortunatly, going to be really grey in many cases. Obviously if your example has NO doubling in the ear - you have a 1884-O VAM-29. If your example has a doubled ear but NO die chip on the obverse star - you have a 1884-O VAM-29A. The 1884-O VAM-29B has both the ear doubling and the chipped star. # See 1884-O VAM-29 for more detailed photos.
