I posted this coin in the grading forum and got some good feedback. But the more I look at my pics I wonder if there is a variety here that I don't recognize. I see some lines on the reverse especially along the top of the letters. Is this just the case touching the coin, or a die crack or what am I seeing here...?

FYI: Even with my magnifying glass I have trouble seeing these days so I hope the pics tell the story.

I believe you have a VAM-5C in the transitional stage just before the die break behind the Phrygian Cap forms(VAM-5D)

@Dave700x -

Thanks for the fast reply. After reading your post I googled VAM-5C and found nice images that seem to confirm your input.
