I think it is either a VAM 3 or a VAM 14.18. I can't be totally positive because there isn't sufficient light to see through all of the toning. Certain aspects of the attribution may have to be viewed under higher magnification. If there are vertical die polishing lines in front of her eye, it may be a VAM 3. If not, it may be a VAM 14.18.

 

If you are interested in the 1878 series (8TF, 7TF and 7/8TF), it might be beneficial for you to get the "Attribution Wizards" from the SSDC. There are so many VAM's for this series, that you really need to view the coin in-hand and/or under a microscope to check all of the diagnostics for some of them.
