They're both about the same. You can't compare detail on a 1964 with a 1969. They reworked the hub in 1969 to bring back a lot of detail that...
They all look like VAM 5A.
Do we know that the hammer and anvil die weren't switched with the reverse design change?
The seller even states he's been told that it's an 1823 but is selling it as a '22 since that's how he bought it. I'm just wondering where these...

So it was graded AU55 in 2001? What do you think it would grade today? I don't know that I'd say AU55, but I'd probably say AU. Lots of strike...

I was out of town and away for a few days, and now my ears are burning. I do anything for which I have or can access an attribution guide....
