    I picked this one up today extremely cheap, only about 50% over melt value. It caught my eye because it might be MS. My only thoughts are that the chest feathers are not clearly more defined, but it could just be lighting (I have not received it in hand). So what do we have here in both grade and variety? I would have passed on it completely but varieties intrigue me. This one has a boatload of PUPs. On the obverse, it's got a neck clash, and behind the hatband in the fields another clash. Also, there may be a die crack extending from the bottom of the hair into the rim at 5 oclock. I can't tell but there may be date doubling. On the reverse, there are two die cracks at 10:30 and 5 oclock. There is definitely a clashed right wreath, and possibly a clashed N as well.

    I am in the same camp as Anthony.
    Au low MS. There are some good details there to go with for the VAM. You have the clash, and a few distinct die cracks to go with.
