Murty, check this coin against VAM 14. The mint mark is certianly set right, but appears to have a slight lean to the left. Don't see the lean on VAM 8 pictures on Vamworld.

Murty, saw the results of your question on Vamworld. I'd argue this one till I'm blue in the face. Here is a picture of the date on a 1112 1 obverse VAM 8. In no way does this resemble the date on your coin.

Yours is a far date, slightly slanted, which is not mentioned in the listing. Just compare your date to VAM 14, spitting image. By the way, VAM 8 shows no picture of the date, one of my supplements does.
