Another NewPS: Can't decide VAM11 or VAM 12. Any help would be appreciated.

This one has got me stumped because it has the characteristics of both. Both VAM's are A1f obverses. The reverse is the real question. The VAM12 does not state many but the VAM11 does. It has the obverse of VAM12 and the reverse of VAM11. Possible? Any help would be appreciated. I ask this because PCGS ony attributes the VAM12 not the VAM11. Thanks.

This is only a guess, but it's a very strong one -- If PCGS doesn't attribute VAM 11 it's because they don't think VAM 11 really exists. If you can show one to Mike Faraone, however, I'd be shocked if he didn't put it into a holder.
Translation: It's probably a VAM 12.
P.S -- Nice looking coin!
lower loop of the first '8'. Those 3 vams are the only known for an A1F reverse.

This one looks a candidate then, doesn't it Jack?

Me eyes are getting pretty bad, the loops of the 8s look pretty clear to me.
