A tough date that probably had many melted in 1918 to explain the scarcity. This one has wear in the hair over the ear and some luster disturbance, on an otherwise lustrous coin, on the face. Obverse has diebreak through the tops of the letters in PLURIB and smaller lines in front of 1 and 8 in the date, both of which, along with the Capped CC (or Large CC over Small CC) are signs of VAM 3A (which is $1,000 more in this grade)
