Was watching this for a couple of days and then finally decided that I needed this in my collection.

anyone know what is so special about this one?

Also, what would it grade?

    It looks like it has a rim ding at about 8 o'clock

    When I get the coin in hand.....image This is the actual pic of the auction....no others. I do have an email from the seller stating that the coin in the picture is the exact coin that I will get..

    No, but you are at least looking in the right area.

    I have no idea of the VAM, but looks like it's got a die break left of the date. Ugly bump at 8:00. VF30-35. JMO

    Good eye!!! Yes, it is 30'ish but at the price I got it at today......it was a steal!!!! I can live with the rim ding...it isn't going to be distracting enough to keep it out of my VAM collection......

    I caught that die crack but ashmore calls it a vam14A. They have 4 different 14A's listed for that year.

    Yes, the colour is what I also liked about this one. Very original and worn evenly. Can't wait to get it in hand!!!!

    Do I see green at 3:00 and 9:00?

    Nice VAM 29A. VF30, but with a rim bump at 8:00. PCGS would give you a $45 body bag for it. You have to be careful with these, because there's a VAM 35A with a finer die crack in the same location. The 35A is usually found in high grade, however, and has the date closer to the tip of Liberty's neck. Don't be fooled into buying one as an early die state of a 29A.

    Here is the link to Mr. Joyce's web site and id.

    I am very happy with the purchase and will have to do a mild acetone dip as there is paint on the coin. I will post pics of the obv and rev in a bit.
