This Obverse die was used on VAM-8 and VAM-9.
This Reverse die was used on VAM-9 and VAM-23.

The VAM-9 and VAM-8 varieties share the same obverse die with metal remnants in the upper loop of the 2nd 8 of the date. Some view this as a diagonal marking of the 7 from an 1879 overdate. The two VAM's differ in that VAM-9 is a large S mint mark while VAM-8 has a medium S.
