[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 541716, member: 2972"]Man, I hate to have to be the one to say this, but I don't think you got a good deal. What you got was a (over)hyped VAM that's been (likely) cleaned and is now retoning, IMO. A few pieces of advice/tidbits of information: Values for VAMS are overblown. I've yet to see an accurate price guide, and it is my understanding that the market for these has done even worse than the overall coin market recently. Be very careful in valuating these coins. Most collectors prefer to cherrypick, this partially explains the preceding paragraph, but is also evidence why this "r6" coin didn't fetch more money. Rarities for VAMS are similarly overblown. If I had a dollar for every R6 coin that magically appeared as an R5 or R4, I'd be a rich man. I know this is not an easy message to digest, and I'm sorry to have to break it to you. Respectfully...Mike p.s. Why do you think it was a good enough deal to purchase at that level?[/QUOTE]
