Here for your grading pleasure is a newp, which I believe to be a VAM-80A Long Nock. Grade estimates and attribution help would be welcomed - I'm a little unsure of the cracks in UNITED. If this is an 80A rather than an 80, I'd guess it to be an early die state. The coin is very nearly Prooflike.

Lots of frost! The cheek looks pretty clean but the fields are a bit scruffy. I'll go with 64.

I believe your coin to be a VAM 80. The only problem I have fully identifying the VAM 80 is the disconnected leaves from the olive branch, which yours has, is also the same on the VAM 79. I cannot tell if there is a die chip on the eagle's right wing in the middle next to the body. If so, then the coin could be a VAM 79. You have an absolutely beautiful coin with a magnificent die break. Gorgeous coin.
As for grade, it looks mint state 64. The fields look a touch scratchy to go higher.
