I think I'm getting addicted. I've been dying for the last two days for this thing to come in the mail so I could play!

No doubled cotton bolls  . Still wanna see the chin? I can get the pics up if you want, she has a clash coming off her neckline, too.

Another question, if I may.
On VAMWorld under VAM33, they show recent sales of $100-129 (Jan 2010), and list it as an I-3,R-4. There are no sales listed for VAM33A and they have it as an I-3,R-6. Does that imply a higher value?

33A. Quote: There are no sales listed for VAM33A and they have it as an I-3,R-6. Does that imply a higher value? Not necessarily. Demand has to exceed supply for the price to go up, and these aren't all that rare.

Thanks Super Dave! I keep forgetting that whole supply/demand thing! LOL!
Are the stars in front of her face doubled, too? Looks like it to me. Just curious why they would list the 2 to the right of date as a marker, which seem weaker, and not these.

That's a good question. On the example I have images of, the two stars closest to the "E" are just as strikingly doubled as the ones to the right of the date.

It looks to me like there is stronger doubling on those than the ones to the right of the date. What about the "E"? Is that doubled?

those stars are not strike doubled, but most likely not listed as the other main features are what make it a VAM 33A, VAM world has a history of not listing every detail, but rather the main features which attribute the VAM..

Thanks aladin, what about the "E"? Does that look doubled? It's a little beat up, so I'm not really sure.

Here's the E from one which passed through my collection - it was an NGC MS63 with a rather mushy strike:  The doubling of all 3 pictured features is fairly obvious, even with the poor strike.

as usual. the VAM World Pictures HIGHLITE the main features which IDENTIFY a VAM, many times we see other things which are not listed in the description, leading us all into a frenzy of questions...Mine has this and that......one must remember (generally) the die is the die, so when the main points are known, the VAM is ID-ed...however many a VAM is decided by the smallest pimple on the butt. as we all know....and thats why we ask......
