Is this coin a VAM 22, 23, or 23A?

    Does anyone know what is the VAM of this coin? I tried looking up the coin going by the die break above the 2 in the date but the only other VAMs with a die break above the 2 are VAMs 14 and 14A but the rest of the die breaks do not match up with my coin. I am thinking this could possibly be a VAM 22, 23, or 23A since there appears to be doubling in the nose in the picture and all three of these VAMs are listed with doubling in the nose. There are also no pictures for these three VAMs on VAMWorld which make me believe the coin could be one of these VAM's.

    Try 3CM. The crack guide may be a slightly earlier die state.

    I'd have to say you are probably right. The die crack in the middle of the date looks very similar to the picture VAMWorld shows of a late-die state. The die cracks around the stars in front of the neck also look very similar to the picture in VAMWorld. I am not seeing other features on my coin that are listed but maybe they are too small to be seen in the pictures of my coin. I am not with the coin right now but I will have a better idea when I can see the coin in person. Thanks for the suggestion. I probably would not have found the VAM since the picture in VAMWorld is of an earlier die state.

    Yeah, I went through the crack guide looking for the crack off the 2 with no luck and then picked the left star 1 and 2 cracks plus the right star 6 to M crack that lead me to 3CM.
