    Great photo. This is one of the coins selected for the Super CD (Clashed Die) set, rarely seen and underappreciated.

    One of the guys putting together a set couldn't find the 40A for a couple years, even though he was willing to pay outrageous money!
    Tough VAM.

    Excellent grab. Haven't found one yet myself, might never.

    I got this one not long ago apparently when others were sleeping. Figured on a sniper war that never materialized.

    Don't sell for less than a couple hundred...I don't care what the price guide says, that is one rare puppy.

    Looks like I'll be trying my hand at my first acetone bath. The coin has a tiny green spot in the headband and a couple of spots with black crud that should come off.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Nice score on a tough VAM. Don't let that one go cheap.
