Catalog Number: 7128
Serial Number: 81996975
Grade: Mint State 63
VAM: 53 - Doubled 18, Pitted Ear
VSS Number: 0
Comments: This is a nice solid coin for the grade and has sufficient, but light, bag marks. We would have given this one a plus grade based on comparison with other MS 63 examples.
VAM 53 is the most common VAM in this series and we have dozens of examples in a wide range of grades. The VAM is easy to spot in several different ways. But this coin is an early die state because it is missing a die crack that runs through the mint mark on almost all examples.
Speculative History
This does looks to us like a bag toned coin primarily because of the royal blue and magenta in close proximity. There is only a faint trace of color on the reverse, so the source of the color relied on obverse contact.
