The 'A' probably signifies that this is John's earliest mintage and thus under the authority of Antiochos VII. Hence also the fine style.

about VF
The lepton Hendin 472 differs from Hendin 471 by its cruder, more 'barbarous' style, thick anchor and circle-line, legends illegible.
This is the so-called 'widow's mite' (see Mk. 12, 41ff).

This type could have been struck during the reign of his mother, Salome Alexandra, as queen, 76-67 BC, or during his reign as king or ethnarch. Some scientists think that this type has been struck under Alexander Jannaeus at the end of his reign. Usually this type is crude with unreadable letters and incomplete legends.Jochen

VF
This coin clearly is an overstruck of Hendin 467. You can see ANDROV BAC around the circle on the rev.
This type has been reattributed from Hyrcanus II to Alexander Jannaeus by Hendin and Shachar in "The Identity of YNTN on Hasmonean Overstruck Coinas and the Chronology of the Alexander Jannaeus Types," Israel Numismatic Research 3, 2008: 87-94. It appears this type was overstruck on earlier coins of Alexander Jannaeus that had never been released from the mint. (FAC)Jochen

From Forum Ancient Coins, thanks!
This type is overstruck on type TJC N (legend over lily, cornucopiae over anchor)
This type has been reattributed from Hyrcanus II to Alexander Jannaeus by Hendin and Shachar in `The Identity of YNTN on Hasmonean Overstruck Coins and the Chronology of the Alexander Jannaeus Types,` Israel Numismatic Research 3, 2008: 87-94. It appears this type was overstruck on earlier coins of Alexander Jannaeus that had never been released from the mint. (FAC)Jochen
