Thanks Eric but the clash around the N(IN) is different on this coin. I've got lots of images to share, so let me know about other VAMS. (And I see I doubled up one image so I'll put in the bridge of the nose, west of the eagle's body.) "IN"  Bridge of Nose-  Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Definitely some nice clashes. Looks like a VAM-36A. By Jove, I think he's got it!! (Some things are hard to spot even having the coin in hand but that die crack through the date and left stars is an exact match.) Thanks, Zurie. That's a relief finding out the VAM#. (You posted that ID just before my previous reply and I missed it until now.) Thanks to EricGreen and allcoinsaregood as well for chiming in. My phone seems to get decent close-ups about 75% of the time using a clip-on magnifier. I have to tilt the lens to the surface to get the phone's software to focus properly. That can throw the perspective off on markers sometimes. And for grins and yucks here's the bow from the reverse.  And an extra obverse marker of an E-W die crack through the hair to the right of the designer's initials.  Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Also, since this variety was only discovered in 2015, is there any consensus on where this one may fall on the rarity scale?
Thanks again.

What are doing messing with these big silver discs?  Sorry I missed this thread, hadn't been on the VAM threads for a few days. Looks like they got you covered though. Nice, Morgan, toning, clashing and VAM, four of my favorite things, in the Coin World! -makecents-

Thanks for stopping by Makescents. I knew you'd be by your old VAM haunt. It was definitely the toning around the perimeter that got my attention and the two clash marks at the throat that sealed the deal. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
