wwhitman,
It sure looks like a
VAM 7 with the die chip. The coin would probably grade MS62 at most. Those hits (above the date and above the eagle) are a bit distracting. Unfortunately, the 79-P is a lackluster date for Vams. Only two (
VAM 14 and 41) enjoy any premium in price.
Anyone seen this value guide? It's a good reference for Vammers ...
