VAM-2 says "If you think you have a VAM-2 please post on boards since this variety likely does not exist, the forum can help you attribute the coin."

Based on your post on VW, I do not believe this to be a VAM 2.
If you want a definite answer, please submit it to ANACS for
VAM attribution. JR is the best in the business.

Thanks JoeTheLucky for the welcome. I will post more photos once my USB microscope arrives. Tried taking more with my phone and a magnifying glass, but it doesn't look great.

suipakpaikungfu - thanks for the reference. I printed out a ANACS form and am currently filling it out.

Hi! I have the same! I just posted pics in "What is Considered a Cleaned Coin" thread. I have the broken R, a broken 4th star on the right (not close-ups posted of that one), and the 4th star on the left has a part of it scooped off (see pic), and a little extra metal on another star, the 8 and the B, too (and more). I have more pics if you want to see. I used the "laser-pointer lens on an iPhone" trick for the pictures. It's not great, and lighting is tricky but it just costs a buck... so... :)
