Nice find. I think that if it crossed into a PCGS holder at 64, which I think it may have a chance, it would probably sell somewhere between $120 and $140. If it downgraded to a 63 it would probably sell for about $80 or $90.
Edited to add:
These prices I stated is really before the economy took a tumble. It is kind of hard to gauge right now, due to the fact that Heritage and TT have not really sold any in PCGS or NGC holders very recently. These prices may be off by 20 or 30%. A lot of VAM's have taken a hit on value like a lot of other coins.
Previous sales prices on this VAM have been wildly variable, and before the recession PCGS-64s were regularly going for $200+. (CS stand for coin show; VQ for VAMquest; E for eBay: H for Heritage. All records from recent additions to the VAMview sales archives):

I think a very nice pick. Did you suspect an O/O from the original pic's?
Nice find and not really appreciated. No extra value that I can see.
But still fun to find and attribute!
