Description
1892-O VAM-16A Doubled 8 & Hair Split Ends, Clashed Obverse n Discovered by C. Logan McKechnie June 2006. (Eliminated, same as VAM-4A) 16A III213 · C3a (Doubled 8 & Hair Split Ends, Clashed Obverse n) (181) Obverse III213– Clashed die with faint incuse n of In from rev next to Liberty's neck. The date is set in the normal position. image:1892-O-16A-jbc-date.jpg The mint mark is set slightly hight with only a minute right tilt. image:1892-O-16A-jbc-O.jpg Liberty's lower hair is spectacularly quadrupled (or more). It rivals the hit list 1892-S VAM-8 obverse. image:1892-O-16A-jbc-obv1.jpg The VAM-16A is distinguished form its VAM-16 parent state by a partial n (from In on the reverse) transfer from a clash. The actual transfer is stronger than generally initially observed, probably because these are found in low grades. Many are cleaned. image:1892-O-16A-jbc-obv2.jpg For orientation reference, here is the neck clash through the n. image:1892-O-16A-jbc-rev1.jpg image:1892-O_VAM-16A_Clashed_n.jpg
