I purchased this coin earlier at melt (cleaned) because it looked like it was struck on a clipped planchet, albeit a very minor one. I figured I would try and identify the VAM after seeing the distinct die crack coming off of the last ray. Any thoughts or opinions of whether it is indeed a clipped planchet and VAM 1I3?

Thank you!

I reckon it's a clip - like you said, a slight one.

Dearborn, link to the listing is in my original post above the pictures.

Here are some closeups of the areas photographed in the VAM listing.

oops sorry, didn't see the link you posted above (I have problems seeing the color blue under certain conditions at night), so here I was trying to get into VAMworld myself and it didn't come up.

But Thank you for the extra images..

Not to get to that link and see if it works..
