Message:: [QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2598365, member: 1892"]VAM-7 was rolled into the VAM-5 series. This is a pretty interesting one, hard to place. It has the die clashing noted on the reverse, but none of the obverse clash artifacts. The "starburst" polishing stuff at the wingtips of the "original" 5A, but far later die cracks, ones which don't appear to show up until 5C. This is a progression which could be better delineated at VAMworld, I think. I'd like to hear the opinion of [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER] on the die state, if only for my own education. That mark on the cheek may or may not be a killer, depending on how deep it is. The rest of the coin is probably worth a 66.[/QUOTE]
