I think this one is the Vam-22. Another set of eyes would help to confirm.
Thanks for any comments, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all at CCF!!

Yep, you have an early die state too. It is a nice looking coin. I always like silver to have a good patina on it.

Congrats on a VAM22! That extra divot on the nostril is interesting. It appears to be in the die as it is raised and there is no mention of it in the 22 listing.

very interesting coin. Some nice gouges in eagles left wing. A lot of features not mentioned in listing. I don't think they are needed for the listing. But sure are cool. Obverse die has a few famous sisters too. VAMs 11(if it exists),77 and 111 Nice coin and tough in MS.
