Hello, Can someone help me identify the proper VAM designation for this coin? I am also wondering if it would be worth having it graded and properly designated? Here are links to all of the pictures... Clash at neck and behind hair (there is also one under nose hard to see in pic).... http://lh5.ggpht.com/_giiDugszWws/TDAZH-qBusI/AAAAAAAAHGc/bXZ9njiCSZw/s912/ClashObv.jpg Chunk missing in the "U" http://lh3.ggpht.com/_giiDugszWws/TDAZImfoKII/AAAAAAAAHGg/7loJvcpWHxU/s512/chunkU.jpg Dash below the "8" (hard to see in the picture).... http://lh4.ggpht.com/_giiDugszWws/TDAZK_OwziI/AAAAAAAAHGo/AZmhTop7154/s912/Date.jpg Clash above wing and in beak... http://lh4.ggpht.com/_giiDugszWws/TDAZG-NwkYI/AAAAAAAAHGY/7e9d_f4rNoI/s512/clashRev.jpg Die Scratch in Denticles... http://lh5.ggpht.com/_giiDugszWws/TDAZJRL3MyI/AAAAAAAAHGk/L3wBfqGQtr8/s912/Denticles.jpg Thanks in advance!
It looks like the VAM-5A. Does it have a die scratch across the eagle's left wing (Viewer's right)? Chris
It's the V5A. I have it in a GSA, too! The mark on the "U" looks to be either a strikethrough or PMD. I wasn't completely sure about the designation at first because it looks like the die gouge in the eagle's beak is a little shorter on yours than the one on mine. Chris
Silverado, Here is a better photo of the dash under the 2nd "8". Unfortunately, you have to open the link because the new system is not accepting my direct uploads. By the way, did you read my thread in Coin Chat on the Dash Index Mark, titled "Oh, DASH it all!" Chris
Thanks for the pictures. The dash is a little smaller on my coin. I can't find your thread, but I am searching for it right now. Thanks again for all of your help.
