New eBay purchase. DDO, the VAM-3 that I’ve been wanting to get. I like that you can clearly see the doubling. What do you think the grade might be? I’m thinking maybe AU? The luster seems just a bit off… maybe because of an old cleaning? Even if it is AU details, I’m glad to have this variety in my collection.

Looks AU55-58. I don't see anything that's definitely a cleaning. Enjoy your pick-up!

Au58 light wipe, seen plenty like it in holders a few denied for similar. Lines on cheek and in front of the mouth. I see 225$
Now find a Vam 4 like that and you have two of the last naked eye die pair vairities in us coins.

Ok, now I’m gonna have to find that VAM-4. Didn’t realize it’s one of the last die pair varieties!
Is that a double holder?? I didn’t know that PCGS did that for these Vams… that is super cool.
Any two coins can be put in a double holder if they still offer them. Nice thing about the these coins is 90% of the value is with the Vam-4 so if you move them you don’t likely have to take a value hit by necessitating both coins be bought together. Most would be willing to buy the package.
As to the die pairs common on early American coins where naked we difference were common. By having both Obv and Rev dies with naked eye variances and different pairing is really rare by the 20 cen
