@dave700 That's the VAM I thought it was, the slab is not attributed. |

I don't think NGC will attribute this one as it's not a top, hot or hit list VAM. This die variety is actually fairly common but very interesting. Nice pick!  |

Luster is really extraordinary on this one. Technically I think it is an MS-63+ but I am going to go out on a limb and say NGC market graded this at 64

And the MS 63's have it. Luster is pretty darn strong on this guy, plus I liked the Die Deterioration.  |
