I agree with Zurie, it appears to be a 5A.

It's interesting to know which die pair was used to strike the coin, but for this date it doesn't really affect value at all.

I see. I readily see the VAM attributes now.

@Silverskunk a good indicator as far as a VAM increasing the value of a coin is if it's on an established VAM list like Top 100, Hot 50, Kimpton 12, SuperCD, etc. If it's not on a list, it's less likely to be in high enough demand for buyers to be willing to pay a premium for it.

I understand. Its a high quality coin on its own and I'll probably buy it. Thanks for the VAM learning. This is a great forum the way the experienced guys help us out.

The CC's themselves have indents from the strike. Is this significant at all ? All in all it looks like a very strong strike doesn't it ?
