DPIS - Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: While both may sport reverse doubling this is NOT the same reverse as found on the 1892-P VAM-6. This IS the exact same die pair that produced the 1892-P VAM-3. See 1892-P VAM-3 for more detailed photos. Exact same obverse die was used to produce the 1892-P VAM-7 (1892-P VAM-7 appears to be the earlier die state). The exact same reverse die was used to produce the 1892-P VAM-7 (& 3).
