The multipled stars are the definitive pickup of this variety, and it's a tough one to see. The die crack at the date can help, but it will have to be precisely the same as seen at VAMworld; the image you've posted here seems to show a "jag" between the neck and the 1 which isn't on VAM-10's detail pic. This is one you'll probably have to settle for yourself; even if you can get enough resolution on the stars (and it needs to be microscopic), a mushy strike may prevent you from ever being sure unless you can find someone with a known example to compare all the rear cracks with.

Thanks SSuperDdave... I'm going to try to take a couple more shots of the die break in the date and hopefully a better closeup of the stars. That's where I'm struggling right now is identifying it in the stars. I'll post them after I get the shot.
