What year is this, and could we see images of the entire coin?

At this point, all I see is a damaged coin.

Thanks for adding the full photos. It looks like a short nock reverse, probably with a broken 4th right star on the obverse, and a broken r in trust on the reverse. Sharper closeups of those areas would help, as well as a closeup of the B in PLURIBUS. That should narrow the possibilities down to about a dozen VAMs. After that, you'll need to look for specific die markers that may be difficult to see on a photo. VAM-46 might be a possibility.

This attribution guide may help:
