<p>[QUOTE="Sean5150, post: 2332308, member: 75607"]Alright, I couldn't wait any more. What's even crazier is I sent in both 84s to be VAM 2 attributed. I would send it back, but how much money can you throw away? My personal opinion is the 65 cutoff is very difficult to guess. But I think they got it wrong with these coins. Coin 1 doesn't photograph well, but the surfaces are smooth. Coin 2 looks just as good. Coin 3 IMO was a 64+. So is it inconsistency, or are there characteristics I'm just not taking into account? But the VAM 2 thing ticked me off. I sent in three 84s, so it's possible either I or they didn't note the right one to look at, but that VAM is so easy to spot wouldn't they just say "Oh he meant this one"? (Don't ask me why I would even waste money on attribution, I just think it's cool)</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos I take tend to show the coin in the most negative light.
