The VAM-117 variety has an incredibly Tripled Star, the second one to the right of the date. The underlying star can be seen rotated clockwise several degrees. Amazing! The VAM-141 has a broken O in GOD on the reverse. VAM-117 has the O complete without a break at the top. Although the Top 100 book claims they are both equally available and valuable, time has proven the 117 to be much more elusive and worth an even bigger premium. If you are buying a 117, check it closely as some coins slabbed 117 actually have a broken O that can only be seen by close inspection an tilting the coin under good lightfor more details
