'''DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: '''Comments: # The [[1888-O VAM-1B comes in a number of stages, most of which are early die state ([[EDS) coins that are ''not'' "Scarface". Most of these [[EDS stages are worth much less than a true "Scarface". Before you buy a coin that a seller claims is a "Scarface", please do your research so that you know what you're really getting. The link to the VAMview issue that has the article on the Harrison Stages of the 1B is [[http://www.ssdcvams.com/VAMview9.pdf''Price discount for die crack only partially across field.'' # These are the early die state ([[EDS) of the coin that becomes Scarface. They are collectible but are worth much less than a real Scarface. Even though one of the slabs below actually uses the word "Scarface" on the slab, the key is still the acronym "EDS".
