Does anyone here have this variety in their collection?

Popular but not rare variety (except high grades are scarce). I found a nice AU example in a coin shop "junk" bin last year. Still have it.
Rest in Peace

Ditto, not rare at all, but scarce in higher grades, common in lower grades. Still cool in any grade though ;)

The finest example of the VAM-3 is a single MS-65 in PCGS plastic with 266 in MS-64. The other O/S Strong VAM-3 is far rarer in grade with only 8 confirmed MS-64 coins in PCGS Plastic. This information comes from listed POP reports and looking at all O/S all the past auctions on both Heritage and Stacks of all O/S Strong's and listed V-3 and V-4's.

The VAM-3's die is polished down at the neck and chin of the die so the look of the coin is that of a weak strike. It also has a remarkable die gouge in the hair that can never be confused.
Rest in Peace
