Horizontal die scratch on left two tail feathers. ;Emission Sequence :Obverse: :Reverse: LVA Comments: # "Diagonal die gouges at top left and right upper tail feathers & scratch on the left 2 lower TF. Unusual HIGH reed count of 194, same as VAM 50 & VAM 55. But doesn't seem to match either and the discovery coin has some wear on it. Pretty strong dies gouges! No Hub doubling."
