Reverse C3e - III O mint mark set upright and high. DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: Comments: # The photos below are of die cracks on an ANACS attributed [[1891-O VAM-8. A lack of cracks does not mean it is not a [[1891-O VAM-8. Remember the primary classification for [[1891-O VAM-8 is O set high and the III2 1 obverse. Do not use the cracks or breaks as a primary diagnostic as you may have an early die state [[1891-O VAM-8 without the cracks. The piece below is most likely just before the reverse die break on the ME of AMERICA, of the [[1891-O VAM-8A. # Note: Occurs with rotated reverse of 50-120 degrees CCW.
