I am trying to attribute this 78 Prooflike. It's of the Vam 80 flavor. It has a single 360 degree die crack and out from the die crack the field is displaced. There are no lines anywhere on the reverse other than an area of very fine polishing under the right wing. So is this 80b or somewhere in between 80 and 80b? Thanks in advance!

VAM-80. Per the VAM-80 page:
Most coins attributed as VAM 80 are now VAM 80B. A true VAM 80 has very few reverse cracks and no polishing lines, and is scarce.
*The pictures haven't been updated on the VAM-80 page.

Thanks mark, I was wondering about the lines 80b talks about on the lower reverse which this one does not have.
