The remains of the CC's were not well eliminated and they can be seen below the O mint mark. VAM-9 was considered the most desirable variety at the time the Top 100 book was printed and is a legitimately tough coin to find, especially in mint state. Since that time VAMs 7 and 7A have turned out to rival it in rarity. # The 1900-O/CC VAM-9 is one of several O over CC coins.
