Granted it has hits on the face the fields are relatively nice. Hence I can see this in a 63 holder.

I like 63 as well. The VAM-2 series is really interesting.

The VAM-2 series is really interesting. ...and can also be a head ache at times! There are just so many varying stages within the known die states. Had a friend positively ID my VAM-2B1 a while back... I was about clueless (somehow lol). Sometimes the listings cause more confusion than clarity! Great coin! |

In-hand pictures. Easy 63. I am also attaching markup pictures showing the multiple clashes these poor dies endured (3-5 clashes!), the most prominent being behind the cap, at the lips, and on the reverse, a profile clash at the left laurel wreath and 3 strong clashes at the right wreath. Polishing lines are marked in yellow. The absence of neck clash on the obverse, and the lack of die rotation, indicates 2C3, to the best of my knowledge. (2B has no cap clash, and 2D has a very distinctive reverse die gouge; and 2C1, 2C2, and 2C4 all feature rotated dies.)
