I have the VAM for this one, it is one of the more interesting coins I've vammed in a wnile so I throw it out to everyone, can you find the markers (there are many) and guess the VAM? Feel free to throw in a grade thought as well. BTW, these are terrible photos. It is Proof Like with mirrored surfaces of which I haven't been able to capture yet.

Could that obverse die be any more polished? It leaves me to the second of the two obvious choices.

edit to add - This one is known in DMPL and yours looks like at least a shot at PL. I'm not 100% certain that's it's uncirculated though, so 63 if MS and 58 if slight circulation rub.

Dave, I wish my photos were better. It should make PL for sure. These pictures were done in a rush. I had back surgery and it's difficult to stay on my feet for a very long time so they shots are rushed. This one was just fun to VAM. After a few guesses I'll put out what it is. I have a 1904-O that's giving me fits right now so I might post it here for some help.
Rest in Peace

I immediately recognized the reverse die on this one. I have two examples of the later clashed die state.
Post up the 04-O, I really enjoy the variety of that series. I have around 20 or so.

I like to know what set up in Photography you have. Great pics. I'm sure that's a different topic.
