Message:: [QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 1969904, member: 9474"]Thank you for everyone's comments.  I guess I should have posted these last night, but it was late and I was beat. Here are some close ups of my VAM6 that I posted last night.  There are a few key diagnostics to differentiate between the high 7 and low 7 ie VAM5 and VAM6 respectively.  One the diagnostics on the obverse is what they call the "ears" or remnants of the two highest peaks of the 7 that protrude above the 8 around the 11 and 1 o'clock positions.  These are noticeable in the VAM 5 (high 7) and may or may not be noticeable in the VAM6. But the bottom part of the 7 should be found set lower on the VAM6 than VAM5. The key diagnositics to look for are actually on the reverse.  With the VAM 5, there will be distinct die gouge that extends in a direct north-south direction from the olive branch down to the slanted arrow feather.  The die gouge is absent on the VAM6, but other markers do exist.  The primary one is a nice polishing line in the M of America.  Other polishing lines exist in the Eagle's right wing as well.  I am sorry that I do not have a VAM 5 to compare my results to, but more pics can be found on Vamworld.com[ATTACH=full]349286[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]349287[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]349288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]349289[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
