The obverse looks like a far date VAM-4, but the mint mark position is more consistent with VAM-2. I don't see any obvious signs that it's counterfeit, but I'm always skeptical when I can't find a die pair that matches. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2018 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 03:56 am This coin has a questionable look about it. On the obverse the lips don't look quite right and on the reverse the center tail feather looks oddly narrow and more hidden than I would expect. The 26.64 grams weight would be consistent with one in the VF range. Can you give us a diameter and thickness using calipers? Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 9019 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 11:25 am Looks to match VAM-7, as far as date and mm positioning, so that's a decent sign towards being authentic. Check the attributes/markers for this VAM though, your pics are too grainy for me to tell.
