While a trip to Pawn Stars would get out the word on this pretty dang rare variety and possibly increase
VAM or coin collectors, I can't see him actually owning this (unless he has a quick flip in mind, which I'm sure he does), I can also see the coin appearing on the show and getting either a no sale by the seller/actor, or selling (fake, due to scriptwriters) then returned at the end of the show. It's an idea. The whole show is pretty well scripted anyways.
As to my call on the grade you asked for, I already said MS62 but MS63 even a or + designation with a CAC green bean would be my thought after more consideration and seeing the extra photos. Good luck in however you play it, this is a super cool
VAM and an extraordinary TOP 100 rarity, besides the 78 VAM-44 I think it's one of the TOP3!
