It looks like a low mint state grade, but I'm not too sure due to the low-quality photographs you've included. As for the VAM, I'm not sure exactly what to look at...? I don't see much out-of-the-ordinary. Could you specify exactly where you might see the characteristics of a VAM? -Brian
Eric, The best way to start your VAM education is by searching the VAMWorld site to try to match your coin to the descriptions and photos. You have the advantage in that you have the coin in hand. There may be certain markers on the coin which we cannot see from your photos. Chris
