I'll reserve my conclusion for now as to not hue anyone's opinion, thank you all for the assistance. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 9032 Posts	Posted 09/17/2026 10:41 am As for usual, Zurie looks to be spot on. There is no doubt about the reverse matching VAM-50 and I found a light die crack running from the E to the star on VAMWorld's full coin shot that ties in the correct obverse to lock in VAM-50.

UnimpossibIe Valued Member United States 358 Posts	Posted 09/17/2026 12:12 pm Thank you for pointing that out -makecents-, I honestly hadn't even noticed that die crack. I guess I can reveal now that I also believe that it's a VAM-50, which is what I asked PCGS to attribute it as. Looks like I have a fun call with their customer service in my future. Thanks very much for your help guys, I really appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff
