Hey all, I have this one returning from PCGS this week and either I got the VAM wrong or they did because they charged me half price and didn't attribute it. I'll reserve my conclusion for now as to not hue anyone's opinion, thank you all for the assistance.

Hard to see the doubling, but I'm leaning towards a VAM-50.

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.

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.
