I can't quite bring myself to not call this a slider based on what I see in the images. If you're comfortable calling it Mint Stae, I'm comfortable calling it a nice 63 with an outside shot at 64.
VAM-10 has some pretty distinctive date doubling, so if you can see that the attribution should be easy especially when date location is factored in. Yours has the date in the right spot for VAM-10.

I am not sure it would reach 64 because of the bag marks on the reverse on the wing and above eagles head, but in hand it is definitely mint state (MS63 is where I would put it). The toning on the reverse is a swirl of green/blue. Yellow cartwheel toning on the obverse. The fields are like a mirror, but that was hard to capture, especially on the reverse with the toning.
The date doubling is very distinctive, and the reverse has the indicators to look for as well for a VAM-10.

Hard to tell the grade from the photos but if you are sure it's uncirculated I say MS64

Sorry I got to go AU 58, Too much chatter in the hair for just bag marks, and From 9 to 12 o'clock on the reverse the rim looks worn/mushy. She is a slider for sure, I Can't see it over MS 62 but not under AU58

Sorry I forgot, Congratulations on your midway to Morgan Glory. Are you trying to keep it at a Certain grade or just finish a set?

It just might reach MS64 IMO looks to have a lot of luster and the toning adds nicely to the overall apearence.Nice looking dollar but I don't see the pick ups to be a VAM-10.

I agree this appears to be MS63 possibly MS64, I'm assuming it's an early die state if it's a VAM10.

I am trying to keep the set uncirculated and obviously going unslabbed. I am also mixing up the mint marks as well. I need to add some more San Fran's to the mix.
It is an early die state VAM-10. It was a challenge to attribute this one.

I am leaning a bit towards a MS-63 but it could go MS-64.

I can't tell.  But then I'm not an expert. The first pic of the reverse make it appear that the breast has some wear and the second makes me go WOW! Not a fan of toners but something about this is, as my grandson says, "wicked cool". I agree with 64. I've seen a great many 64s in worse condition and the eye appeal of this one makes me sit up and take notice. Thanks for posting it.  |

I am not a fan of tonors either, but this one I didn't want to pass on. It will likely be the only toner in my set. Thanks for all the comments!
