Picked up this morning at local B&M. Noticed the clash marks and die brake at you in PLURIBUS. Would this variety's value be similar to its counter part Vam17A(without the die drake in U. nlp

I don't know about value, and I also don't know how your threads keep slipping in under the radar.... but this is the first that I have seen of this one as well.... This may be one of the more interesting coins that I have seen in quite a while.... I really like radial cracks, and this one seems to go right into Liberty's cap if I am seeing it correctly.

I have a very hard time imagining a clash in that location.... interesting too is the proximity to the crack.... Are you positive that what you are seeing are clash marks? I am going to try to blow it up and look at it some more.

Even with rotation, I don't see anything on the reverse that could cause clashing in that region on the obverse die... maybe it is PMD of some sort?

UNFORTUNATLEY as many cool coins, like the radial die cracks are, and command such value, VAM view doesn' list it..
I have a few of my own like this..why is such a coin with few known radial breaks, be unworthy? I haven't a clue...
