I have been looking at this coin and checking the
VAM encyclopedia and checking Vamworld, 1ST I do not think it is a 1E or 1K, those Vams have the gouge in question, going through the G and even further, your coin appears to have the gouge, but it is thin and stops at the top of the G in GOD.
Could you please post the Obv and Rev in their entirety, thanks, Mike...PS, This is just my opinion....
