This is why I always scan junk silver listings. Poor old girl is beat up and worn out but hey, a Long Nock is a Long Nock...looks like S is high, set left, but can't tell if it's far left or just left. My guess would be VAM-60. (I can hope.) Not likely to be able to pick up any other die markers given the bad shape of the coin, until I can scope it.

I'll wait to see a couple of close-ups especially the eye before I take a firm stab at it, but tentatively, I'll guess V58.. I'm with you though, I would love to cherry pick a V60.

I'm not sure this one can be positively attributed to a particular VAM. :( She's been abused harshly.

This is going to be a real pain in the you know what. Coin has been heavily whizzed and polished, and then dipped, from the looks of it. Here's my best shots with the scope. MM, arrows, gap above arrows, eyelid.

There's not enough of a spike on the eye for it to be my first guess, V58. It looks like maybe V56?
