Neat VAM Pickup: 1879-P "Worm Eye" VAM 41

Picked this up at an auction...thinking this is a VAM 41 Worm Eye.

My pics are whitewashed out (still learning new camera), but I'd appreciate any grade guesses/comments.

Hi

Cant speak to VAM, but from those photos could be 55? Very hard to see/say.

AU55 VAM 41 "Worm Eye". I have one in the same grade, and I recall that a couple others I've seen are also that grade. The SSDC Registry shows 11 coins registered, with 1 XF, 6 in AU53-58, 1 MS60, 3 MS62. I'm guessing an MS64 in PCGS plastic would bring a nice premium. One of the MS62s is an ANACS coin that sold for $60.

Thanks for the info. Here are some other pics (not taken by me) which are not so washed out.

I seem to be a sucker for VAMs with interesting names. I'm thinking it is a 58 slider, but my first set of pics may it look much more worn.
