Description
1900-P VAM-5A Near Date. Clashed Obverse n & st Discovered by Mark Kimpton, February 2004. 5A(revised) III24 • C3a (Near Date. Clashed Obverse n & st) (189) Obverse III24– Clashed dies with faint partial incuse n of In from reverse next to Liberty's neck & partial incuse st of Trust from rev showing in right hair vee of lower hair edge. Some specimens show polishing lines in fields or double incuse n & st. Reverse C3a– Some specimens show polishing lines in fields. DPIS -B23RE Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: The 1900-P VAM-5A and 1900-P VAM-5C are very much the same thing. If you can see the clashed M on the reverse then I guess you can call it a 1900-P VAM-5C otherwise it is a 1900-P VAM-5A (same clashed die pair). Neither the 1900-P VAM-5A or the 1900-P VAM-5C share either die with the 1900-P VAM-5 or the 1900-P VAM-5B. This particular VAM is generally (if not always) very weakly struck.
