I believe you nailed it. Sometimes, you have to adjust your light source to see the doubling in "LIBERTY." Also, yours may be a little later die state when the doubling was wearing away. If you will look at VAM-21 and VAM-21B, you can get an idea about the die progression - not sure why they called this one a slanted date and moved it into a different number progression.
One note - I'm not a great VAMmer. There are people who are much better at this on the forum, but I haven't seen them post in quite a while.

I too believe you have nailed it, HumblePie and that Bump111 explained it well. LIBERTY looks much thinner on yours, in my opinion, which leads me to believe it was abraded and polished, in this area and the doubling is tougher to see, if at all. There are also die scratches in your LIBERTY, I don't see in the listing. On your obverse, full coin shot, you can see much more deterioration around the perimeter of the coin, which also leads to it being a later die stage, you can see it well, at PLU, in comparison to the two full coin shots, in the listing. So yours looks to be a LDS version of VAM-35 and maybe worth sending in to have attributed, for either a later die stage or maybe even new listing.
Nice work and pics!

Thanks for taking the time to look at it! I would be willing to send the coin to whomever it would need to go to. I'm fairly new to the Vamworld, so I don't know that process at all.    |

I heard that if you have a VAM that doesn't completely match any known numbers or yours is a little bit different from a known one you can pay the fees and get your own number established. PCGS does this. |
