I picked this coin up about a month ago. Haven't been able to get any good pictures - NO SUN! East Coast.
Anyway I paid handsomely, and am not sure it was worth it.
I do not see any distracting marks.
Lots of luster and chartwheel.
It appears to be the VAM 2A.
Any thoughts and grade?

Damaged denticles and repunched mint mark. I would call that VAM 2A.

2A(revised) III210 ยท C3b (S/S Left, Damaged Denticles) (187) I-3 R-4
Obverse III210-- Damaged denticles below 87 with depressions in field in front of denticle spaces and raised bar in denticle spaces.
Reverse C3b-- IV S mint mark re-punched with original showing as arcs within top and bottom loops. Damaged denticles below DO in DOLLAR with depressions in field in front of denticle spaces and raised bar in denticle spaces possibly due to dies coming together at edge of denticles.
