[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2415118, member: 1765"]Ooh! A contest! I'll play. It may look like a 66 or so to you unwashed masses, but it should be obvious that this is a problem coin even if you use a scorched cedar plank used to grill a fish for a loupe. Dead giveaway is the uneven color of the rim on both sides, clearly demonstrating this is a sandwich coin. Two 83-CC VAM 5A, one with an above average obverse, one with an above average reverse, planed down and amateurishly joined together in a sadly successful attempt to fool the buyer and everyone here (why am I not surprised). :) Seriously, damn nice coin. The plaid pattern in the left obverse field by the mouse gave me pause, but I'll assume that it's nothing damning and say you'll be pleased with the grade. The cheek needs to be a little "creamier" for 66, perhaps.[/QUOTE]
