<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 840717, member: 16402"]I don't believe it's VAM 20. It doesn't look like doubling under the date of your coin, it looks like the "shadow effect", which is the lack of toning usually under the date, stars, and lettering which creates a shadow effect, that can look like doubling. (A little more then half way down this page: <a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/FAKE-RAINBOW-TONED-COINS-ARTIFICIAL-COLORS_W0QQugidZ10000000004261378" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://reviews.ebay.com/FAKE-RAINBOW-TONED-COINS-ARTIFICIAL-COLORS_W0QQugidZ10000000004261378" rel="nofollow">RAINBOW TONED COINS</a> has a few examples).</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe your coin is VAM 6 (<a href="http://www.vamworld.com/1886-P+VAM-6" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vamworld.com/1886-P+VAM-6" rel="nofollow">1886-P VAM-6</a>), the second 8 should be slightly higher then the first 8, and the 6 should be the highest.

I believe your coin is VAM 6 ([URL="http://www.vamworld.com/1886-P+VAM-6"]1886-P VAM-6[/URL]), the second 8 should be slightly higher then the first 8, and the 6 should be the highest.
