Picked this up for $50. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

Looks AU55ish and well worth what you paid.
Also, it's a VAM-202A if you can find the N and M clash....

The doubling in the date seems pretty pronounced

I'll say MS-61, perhaps 62.

She's banged up a little but I put her in the MS61/62 range. I'm leaning towards 61

Nice slider! It looks like a possible light touch of wear on the cap, cap fold, and second cotton blossom and on the eagle's breast, right leg and wingtip (our visual left). It's in AU-55 to -58 range. The reverse, especially, is fairly baggy, but certainly typical for an AU.

You did spot on at $50. If this one sneaks over the line to MS-60/61, you doubled your money.
