This is also a new acquisition that arrived today but I saw die cracks as I was evaluating the weak strike, so thought I'd post in this forum.
One crack is seen across the left wing tip (eagles right) and another longer one running from below the 2nd S in STATES, through the right wing tip (eagle's left) and down to the tip of the laurel leaf.

Nice coin. The die cracks match VAM-19A.

That looks like a VAM-19a. Key marker is the displaced field die break at R4 on the reverse between R and the star. Nice coin!

@Zurie and @Bump111

Thanks very much for the catch on the VAM. I hadn't made that connection yet.
