its difficult to tell from photos, and when I message seller it says he is away until the 22nd but I see the big rim Cud which was my indicator. the rest is hard to make out what do you guys think. also its not graded but in a generic plastic slab probably an air-tite.

Date on this one is too close by about half a denticle than the B4. It had me going for a second though on first glance

Plus the mm on a 4b is set and drunkenly tilted right, this one is centered and slightly tilted left

More likely a 35B.

The Cud matches 35b..but none of the die markers are present. I'll look at it more closely when I get off work.
Rest in Peace

I think it does, the images are so over-exposed they're tough to see. I can see the nose clash line on the reverse from the wing to the first vertical of the letter N and the clash marks above the upper lip. 1904-o is a fun date/mm to chase VAMs.

At the very first glance I see subtle hints of a clash on both faces which is rotated markedly counterclockwise. A light dot under the neck; a little light line extending up from the wing, and in conjunction with the unmistakable 35B Cud the attribution isn't difficult. It's worth pretty close research once in hand, because I think you're going to see a Mint State coin. Where the collar Cud occurs in the grand scheme of die progression is relevant, and looking at die crack progression while the Cud forms can offer a hint as to how long the collar lasted once it broke to form the Cud. It would draw attention in any collection. Fun coin.
