Can you post a clear picture front and back of the coin?

[Woods020]

I think you are correct but there are other areas of the coin to look at to be sure b

Photo 3 does show the VAM-3 variety.

The roughness resulted from failure to correctly fill the small MM. When a large MM was punched, it stressed the repair and it began to deteriorate -- kind of like a bad tooth filling.
