This is a LDS VAM 1AU, later die state than mine. Nice pickup!

Thank you!!

I agree with Dennis. The problem is that a coin may be white when holder & when the sticker goes on, but "surprize toning" (from inadequate rinsing after being dipped) is a real risk with coins in new holders. Hence the value of buying coins in older holders.

Nice pickup RogerRock! I agree, EDS VAM 2E. I will defer to Leroy if this deserves a revision.

Hard to determine due to contact marks on the coin. Try VAM 1Q or VAM 1R.

I agree that the coin on the right is the more desirable coin. In the close-up at the top, notice that there are 3 rays between the leg feathers & wing, instead of the normal 2.

Like it, thanks!

What I see as possibly listable are the small die chip on the underside of Liberty's neck, a long die crack from the left side of neck into the field, and file lines on the reverse to polish off clash marks. Of these, the only one I think Leroy would list would be the die crack, and then only if the...

After VAM 1CY was made, this reverse die was paired with a new obverse, creating VAM 1EZ. Your coin is worn, so I cannot determine if the die chip below B of LIBERTY is present. Or, your coin may have been struck before the die chip was formed.
Good job in VAMing this coin!

1924 VAM 8D was originally listed as VAM 8B, revised 2014. It has the terminal die state of VAM 8 reverse die, with a die crack on the wing, paired with a new obverse. I have not looked at mine for a doubled obverse.
So far, mine is the only one in the Registry, I would welcome some company!

Still a neat coin, very infrequently encountered.

try VAM 8D

What I am doing, and would encourage others to do, is keeping track of coins I believe to be new discoveries, using my own numbering system. In doing so, I have found several listings which need to be killed. I am in no hurry, understanding that 2020 may be "lost year" with regard to VAM discoveries...

Good job in attributing this one!

Attribution is correct, VAM 1A2. It is a common coin, so it may not be worth the cost of having attribution put on the label except to do so for your own benefit.
Hope this is helpful,

Nice pickup! Hope you get the MS grade!
