Repunched mint mark, clearly S over S

Go to www.vamworld.com and ask.

I don't know the value but its a very minor VAM, not listed in the top 100 list so I doubt that it has much if any premium attached to it.   Probably only worth something extra to a die hard VAM collector.

But if you have any questions about light bulb receipts from the mint a hundred years ago we're all ears...

The problem is that the major TPG's do not attribute these minor VAMs, Here is the list of all the VAMs that NGC will attribute and put on the label   only these   As the op's VAM is not on the list there will not be any auction records.  If he wants to do an exhaustive search of the Heritage archives its possible that he might be able to find an old ANACS coin that had this VAM attribution placed on the label, assuming one ever was, and assuming that the auction title or description has the VAM listed in it.

Then wouldn't it be appropriate to just look up the date and mintmark ?  If the VAM isn't that important, it probably doesn't add much value, no ?

Well yes but as the op wants to find a value for this VAM just looking for the date/mm won't really be much help.  These minor VAMs do have some value to the right collectors its just that you cannot find info through auction results very easily, the only way is to talk to a VAM dealer or collector to see what they might sell or buy at.
