Wow.I think you have a VERY good 8tf with higher premiums than most. Check out VAM 20

Yours looks to be a slightly later die state though with more die cracks...

I looked at the coin more closely and it has all the characteristics of VAM-20. Thanks for your help! I will probably send it to NGC now.

Cool but don't pay to have them VAM it on the label for you. Their attributions aren't fully trusted because they've been known to make mistakes. Same with PCGS sadly. Anacs is the only slab to be 100% confident that a VAM is correctly idetified on the label. However if you like NGC send it to them but don't pay to have them VAM it and after its slabbed send it to @Messydesk's VSS service for his attribution and tamper resistant sticker. Here's his website... http://www.varslab.com
Rest in Peace

Cool variety! I agree with Cascade on slabbing through NGC without attribution and sending to Messydesk at VSS afterwards.
