Complicating this issue is the fact that the VAM-29A brings a significant premium when sold where the VAM-35 usually does not. VAM-29A is seldom, if ever, found in mint state and the VAM-35 can be found in high grades. The VAM-35 is not actually a die break but rather a die crack. No metal was significantly displaced as happened in the late stages of the VAM-29A. This page should help attribute the differences in the early stages of the VAM-29A from the VAM-35. This VAM has a light die crack running through the denticles almost horizontally across the bottom of the date. # 1900-O VAM-35 was eliminated but reinstated in December 2013.
