    I was curious if anyone thought this was a VAM, known or unknown. I'm especially curious due to the "O" and what looks like rim marks on the neck. Please post opinions and grade/value estimates.
    FWIW, I think it's about AU 55/58...

    Looks to me like it could possibly be a VAM 13. Either way it looks to be a good AU coin.

    You shouldn't have to think much... NGC should've done most of that for you ;)

    NGC says 58, I'm leaning more towards 55...

    I wouldn't recommend purchasing a coin you feel is over graded that is slabbed by a top TPGer, unless it is a rare enough VAM that will make up for the loss you'll take on buying a 55 at 58 money. If Pacecar is correct, VAM 13 is not part of the top 190 VAMs and might not be a good buy. Good luck either way my friend.

    I would say that NGC was accurate on the grade--looks like an AU 58 to me. I don't see it as either undergraded or overgraded--right on to me.
