First 1 doubled slightly below upper crossbar. Second 1 doubled slightly on left side of shaft. Reverse C3b- Mint mark is repunched and tilted slightly to left with original showing as a long verticle spike within the middle of the upper loop opening and an arc to the right of the lower loop opening. Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: The exact same obverse die was used to produce 1881-S VAM-4, 1881-S VAM-6 This was NOT the exact same reverse die that produced the 1881-S VAM-5 or the 1881-S VAM-10, but there are some similarities (& they are all listed with a C3b rev.).
