[QUOTE="900fine, post: 146138, member: 6036"]Nice piece ! Personally, I like the blast white. Well, I checked my Van Allen / Mallis (VAM) 4th edition to see if you might have a valuable VAM variety. The only illustration they have of a reverse die crack is VAM-4. Their description doesn't mention the crack, but the picture sure shows... and the VAM-4 picture is the only one with a crack. Check the following: [LIST] [*]do you see any doubling of the letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ? Ya gotta look close... I can't tell from the posted pic. [*]do you see any doubling of the letters in the top inside of "NE" "OL" or "AR" in ONE DOLLAR ? [*]do you see any doubling of the eagle's right wing, IN GOD WE TRUST, upper part of left wreath, or lower outside of right wreath ?[/LIST] If so, you've picked up a VAM-4, which carries a "collector's interest rating" of I-3 (5 is max) and a "rarity rating" of R-4 (8 is max).[/QUOTE]
