Ok, I took some more pictures of the coin, and I don't see any of the pitting you are looking for. There is no distinct doubling, but you might want to check the pictures to make sure I'm correct.

Methinks we've reached the wall with this one. It's undoubtedly a VAM, since they all are, but it has very little to distinguish it from a standard VAM1.

Which U is represented in the pics? If it's the first U in UNUM, could you possibly get me an identical shot of the second U? I'm looking for these lines, especially the one extending from the left side of the serif:

I know with your coin it'll be tough, as it's worn. Also, have a look at the pic below:

Note the significant amount of die polishing lines in and around the bow, and the harder-to-see polishing lines in the tailfeathers (roughly parallel to the arrow shafts). Does your coin show any of this?
