I have been trying to pin down which VAM this is on VAM world going through them all over and over with no luck. MM seems centered and upright. There is a spike above the eyelid, Liberty is doubled, the E appears to have the Die Chip, the fourth left star is broken, the r in trust is not broken, some of the devices seem struck with a rusty overpolished die. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance. Also on the reverse the denticles are damaged in an interesting way to me so I will post a closeup pic of the damage. (Why do the denticles seem formed under the part of the rim that is missing?)
Thanks in advance for any help!

The spiked eyelid is carefully hidden in the VAM-42 listing. Even before If all else fails follow the sort by - broken 4th left star, unbroken r, doubled LIBERTY and look at the engraved wing feathers.

Thanks dave700x thats what I tried to do but just couldnt match it...I could match parts on different ones just not everything. That is it! I just missed it, must have went right over it a dozen times! The initial description was not what I was looking for I guess and must have passed it by! I thought I checked them all! Thanks dave700x!

Yeah, I missed it first pass as well. Sometimes the engraved wing feather area can look very different from photo to photo. A slight rotation in the full reverse image can alter the appearance of the mint mark position as well..
