MatthewDM11 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I got this at an estate sale. Still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. The cc mint mark is so far off from any other 1879-cc I can find. However the VAM-6 is close. I just can’t find any other examples of VAM-6 other than the one example on VAM world. I wanted to run it by you guys and see what you think. My coin: Here is the example of VAM-6 on VAM world: here is the link to the VAM-6: http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/wiki/1879-CC_VAM-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 If the VAM-6 is presumed authentic, some of the very minor imperfections on it are repeated on your coin. That's generally a good sign. Obviously you want to weigh yours when it arrives, especially given that the color looks a little odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the attached from PCGS CoinFacts which looks like that variety, although it's a lower VF-20 grade. Also see the attached comparisons for the mint mark. To me it looks like the mint mark for your coin is off, as it seems like it's a little to the right and closer to the wreath with no die chips present. It also looks like the CC letters on your coin are rotated a little counterclockwise compared to the legit VAM-6.
