Description
1882-S VAM-20 Doubled Date, S Tilted Far Left Discovered by Bill Deterline, July 1978. Revised 2008. 20 (revised) III2 17 · C3e (Doubled Date, S Tilted Far Left) (182) Obverse III2 17– Doubled date. Slightly doubled 1 at top right side of vertical shaft. Left 8 doubled right outside of lower loop. Second 8 doubled on left inside and strongly on right outside of upper loop. 2 doubled strongly at top and right outside of upper loop. Very slightly doubled top of Phrygian cap. Reverse C3e - IV S mint mark tilted far to left and shifted slightly left. One of the farthest S tilts known for the Morgan series. Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: The exact same obverse die produced 1882-S VAM-3, 1882-S VAM-20 and 1882-S VAM-27 (There is 1 more to add to the list but it is yet in the works). Reverse is shared with 1882-S VAM-11A There is a horizontal bar across the upper half of the mint mark Doubling on the date can be very hard to see due to ejection doubling common on 1882-S.
