I just bought this. These pictures are horrible for contrast and showing solid detail, but I figured I would gamble for the price. I agree that it is a Spitting eagle and think it is VAM 3, not VAM 7 due to the date position. My question for you guys is do you think this would slide into MS or is it AU? From the pictures it is really hard to tell, but I am think for the price I got it that it is AU. Hope in hand it looks better and is MS and not cleaned. The seller has good feedback, but these pictures could be hiding a lot.

This picture is the best when it comes to showing the actual luster

Nice VAM. It should be in any vammers collection for sute. Tuff to grade from scans can we get some regular pics? From these I would say it looks to be Unc details
Rest in Peace

I'm at AU details based on the reverse right fields and lower obverse fields and VAM-3 based on the date position.

Well I got it to day, and it is going to go back unless you can talk me out of it. I am convinced it is AU Details. I think it has been over dipped and cleaned in some way, not harshly cleaned, but I still over paied. I gave $300 for this and it was listed as BU with the bad pics you can see in the first post. I was giving the seller a chance, but it did not work for me. Here are my pictures of her taken quickly in natural sun because that is what I had.
