They are the remains of the strongest clashed "G" that can be found in the Morgan Dollar series. Other varieties have more of the "G" showing, but none have the depth of detail of the 28A. This VAM is the first of the clashed "G" type varieties discovered, and is part of the Super CD collection. # The "G" letter clash was the result of both clashing and clockwise rotation. The clashing occurred in a very early die state, resulting in a very well defined letter transfer. This also means that the 28A is one of the few clashed die varieties that can be found in DMPL (Deep Mirror Proof Like) condition.
