JJuliano Pillar of the Community United States 705 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 4:16 pm This one most closely resembles a VAM12 as it appears to have the alligator eye w/o clashing. However, there appear to be die scratches(circled) which is not characteristic of the V-12. The one scratch I feel is from the die is the one under the nose and above the lip. Anyway, any thoughts is appreciated. I hope the pics show the details well. Sellers pics and straight graded. Edited by JJuliano 03/11/2019 4:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JJuliano Pillar of the Community United States 705 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 5:00 pm Dave, any thoughts on the scratches? I've looked at the V-3 and it's close. The scratches have me puzzled. Maybe I'm over analyzing them. I've posted a pic of the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/11/2019 5:26 pm The abrasions on the obverse are, I'm assuming, die file lines but there are lines on the nose that are the same direction. Puzzling. I am convinced it's a VAM-3 with the obverse LFCP you added, I can see the die chip in the ear and the reverse image shows the die scratch on the Eagle's right wing.
