Lemme throw VAM-197 at you, Sidekick. Pay particular attention to the reverse die cracking.

though the OBV is also the same for,,i think VAM 134, its the REV that locks this VAM..."note" the die cracks in "E-D" united and states...and the missing feather are a perfect match... |

Thanks guys. Ima have to get some higher res pics so I can be more sure of what I'm looking at. Meanwhile, something I noticed that seems outta whack is the second "t" in trust. It seems to be raised up, that is the top and bottom are not in line horizontally with the rest of the word. Yes I can see the die cracks in the E D and they seem to follow through to the wing and there seem to be more following along the top of "states of".

Here are the cracks you were mentioning across "ED". It also has them extending across the words "states of" as they mention on VM. There are some other characteristics they show that aren't on my coin as far as I can tell, like the die polish lines by the bow, the crack from the bust point to the first left star. Not sure about the doubled you and are they talk about. Is that what I have in this photo? Can't really tell. Even lacking some of the errors they list, does this still make it a VAM-197 or do I need all?   |

the toning on your coin will really make it hard to see the polishing lines and the crack at the first left star, in general you have all the listed features that are within this vam197 as any body else will also...often times it takes a very high grade speciment to see them, or one needs just the right angle of light or a dynolite scope to see them..

There is no numismatic moment more satisfying for me than the one where I lean back and say, "Yeah, that's the variety." It's a win, for both me and the coin.
And, zeewool, it doesn't matter how long it takes to find home as long as you know when you're there.
