DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # The Multi clashed 1886-O VAM-1A2 is the "7 clash type" the grade of this coin will determine it would qualify as a 1886-O VAM-1A2. While the "T" clash (in theory) is present with all 7 clashed type, standard protocol is that the letter transfer be visible. On lower grade coins this clash may be worn away or hidden by circulation. While Leroy tagged this as a discovery, its been around for some time. The double clashed type is most common. The multi or 7 clashed type seems to fall second in rarity in MS grades. The single clashed 1886-O VAM-1A1 is by far rarer in any grade and to date of this discovery only 1 MS example of the single clashed type is known in PCGS plastic.
