Description
1904-O VAM-4 Doubled Date Discovered by Richard Deters, October 1973. Revised 2004. Revised again August 2011. 4(revised) III23 · C4a (Doubled Date) (189) Obverse III23– Entire date is doubled as are profile, left stars and E-P. 1 doubled at top right of bottom crossbar as vertical line with hook on end. 9 upper loop strongly doubled on lower left outside and top inside. Slightly doubled 0 at bottom outside and 4 at top left outside. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: '''Comments: # The VAM-4 family has a "spiked " 1 in the date. Leroy had stated that this is the same hub defect (spiked 1) as [[1904-S VAM-10. This "spiked" 1 in the date is a flaw in the date digit punch or logotype, and was not in the hub. He has revised his thinking based on different date placements of the 04-O V4,4A,4B; 04-P V3, 04-P V4, and 04-S V10. Note that the "spiked" 1 only occurs in 1904 at all three mints.
