Obverse II4 - Doubled ear and cotton blossom leaves on the right edges, date, all stars on right and left on the bottom edge.

Comments:
VAM 6 and VAM 18 share the same obverse. Cotton Blossoms and leaves are doubled to the right. CC mintmark away from wreath for VAM 18. On the VAM 6, the CC mintmark almost touches the wreath. VAM 18 is much tougher to locate than the VAM 6.
