There are a bunch of minute VAM's associated with this particular issue that'd probably require extreme closeup photos to detect. As a practical matter, I'm not sure any of those would command any sort of premium even if such gererate any significant additional interest in an individual specimen. Is there something specfic, like a doubling in the date or legends, you see that warrants identification? I do note a pair of marks near Liberty's hairline above her eye for which it's hard to tell if they're raised or incuse. If the former, they'd be indicative of gouges to the die. I also see the engraved feathers on the reverse, which I recollect to be a desirable variation.

A pretty nice coin in any event, thanks for sharing.

Seems like VAM 16 to me, too. Need better close-up of date and left stars to be sure. VAM 16 has lots of doubled and tripled stars, VAM 17 not so much. VAM 17 has an easily seen diagonal mark inside the lower loop of the first 8, VAM 16 doesn't. The reverse die was used only for VAMs 12, 16, and 17, and this is not VAM 12.
