DPIS - ;Emission Sequence :Obverse:1892-S VAM-2, 1892-S VAM-7 :Reverse: Comments: # DO NOT DEPEND ON THE DATE CRACK. This is on SOME [[1892-S VAM-2 but also on ALL [[1892-S VAM-7 examples. [[1892-S VAM-7 shares the obverse with [[1892-S VAM-2 but with some minor repolishing. The mint mark differentiates the two fairly easily. # The [[1892-S VAM-2 not only has a great doubled date it has nicely doubled arrow shafts that are not mentioned in the official description. # The mintmark is a tiny bit high (also not documented in the official description).
