Description
1893-CC VAM-2 CC Tilted Right Discovered by Melvin Carmichael, August 1951. 2 III2 1 - C3b (CC Tilted Right) Obverse III2 1- Some specimens show die chip in 3 on right side between loops. Reverse C3b - Mint mark tilted to right DPIS - Emission Sequence Obverse: Reverse: Comments: Late die stage specimens are particularly desirable as these are believed to be among the very last coins struck at the Carson City Mint. Twelve branch mint proofs are reported and were struck from a strongly re-polished stage of this marriage. Vampicker- I have seen examples of the late die stage with the double clash polished down matching the "BMP" strikes that were clearly normal business strikes.
