<< <i>Acetone rinse and off to PCGS and maybe a new top grade at AU58 or MS64 can't tell from the images if there is rub or not. >>
Syl,
I cannot tell either. It will be at PCGS very soon.

<< <i>All thornheads have this initial gouge. There are now an insane 10 die stages known with additional gouges added and removed. >>
Pedantry insists that I mention that an 11th die stage was recently found that comes before any of the die gouges, and that this 11th stage made it possible to die the obverse with another reverse die. This is a testament to the assiduous attention to detail of a few collectors.

Your correct. I am having a difficult time locating a VAM 15E/1B pre Thornhead Morgan.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

<< <i>Nice. Not to be Debbie Downer, but is the stuff on the obverse under the R and BUS damage? >>
Good question. The marks you see are from the die polishing when the mint worker tried to fix the previous gouges.
Most Thornheads in this die state are not found in good enough condition to see the polishing lines without a loupe.
These were taken with my microscope camera.

<< <i>Nick, I think you're the proud owner of the 1st Mint State VAM 1B4b reported.
CD,
Thank you. This is by far my best cherry pick. If it is indeed a MS coin, I will be thrilled. I am hoping to get a 63 out of it. But we shall see.

From the sounds of it, you may Suck!
The coin is in my Thornhead set for now. I really don't know what I will do in the future, so its home is with me until I figure it out.
