PCGS - AU55

33(revised) II/I 7 ? B/Ad (3 TF) (180) I-3 R-4

Obverse II/I 7? Some coins show die chip at left between loops of first 8.

Reverse B/Ad? Three tail feather ends showing; strong one under 4 TF and two faint ones between 4 & 5 TF and 5 & 6 TF. Very faint tail feather shows under 6 TF on early strike specimens. Eagle?s legs are one and one half times normal width with doubled talons. Design remains in olive leaves, below branch on left and center of wreath bow. Diagonal polishing line from 1 TF down thru 4 TF on some specimens. Broad diagonal die gouge on left side of eagle?s neck.

VAM-33 is a 7/8 tail feather variety that shows four faint tail feathers emerging below the strong 7 feathers. VAM-33 can often be found in PCGS "7/8 Weak" holders. Sometimes it is even found in 1878 Rev 78 holders because the faint tail feathers were not noticed peeking out.

The main feature of this reverse is that it has tremendously doubled legs. This doubled leg reverse die is shared between VAM-33 and the ultra-rare VAM-44 (VAM-32 and VAM-31 also have different doubled leg reverses). Another attribution feature of VAM-33/44 is looking at the underside of the olive branch to the left of the eagle and above the arrow feathers for the rounded mound characteristic of this die.
