This one was unattributed but is clearly VAM 1A I already have a few VAM 1A'S so why did I get this one? Well it appears to be the toughest of the 3 1A'S the single clashed 1A1 I already have the 2 and 7 clashes just needed the single clasher and now I think I have it. Its possible you just can not see the second clash in the photo but on my 2 clash example the 2nd clash is easier to see than the first and this lines up with the first clash on my 2 clasher so think its correct. Graded by NGC , Photos are not good . I assume the coin is more silver colored . Will post more pics when she arrives.    Edited by JasonKflo

It's a nice circulated coin without undue marking and just a little bit of honest wear.
Can't tell if there's any luster from these photos. If there is, put me at AU-55. If there isn't, maybe AU-50.

AU50/53, leaning towards 53. Nice pick!

this is actually is not a bad strike for an 86(o). though to judge whats under the toning on this one. cheek is very clean on this. I'm going out of the box on this one and call it MS63 only because of the blotchy toning. I think what some are seeing as wear is from strike

NGC nailed it. 55 is spot on for this coin.

This one came today and here are a few pics I took in my big window. It brightens everything. Coin has a nice natural golden color to it . What a mid AU Coin should look like.   |

More apparent luster with the in hand pics. I'd put this at AU53 personally with in hand pics, may look AU55 in hand.

You are really going to town on some of the tough VAMs!
This looks like a solid mid-AU coin. The grade seems spot on. The seller's photos were dark, but certainly showcased the surface conditions and the clash.
