By the way, I think this is a VAM 6B, but that has not been confirmed by anyone, it is only my opinion. Now this may seem obvious, but for it to be a VAM 6B, that means it was struck with the same dies as the other coins with the same markers. Those coins are not proofs, so it follows that this cannot be a proof either. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272745[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272746[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a note, if the OP finds himself banned, it&#039;s because trolling and abusing other members creates a toxic atmosphere. That&#039;s not what CoinTalk is about. Let&#039;s just do what we enjoy without getting beaten up for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
