<p>[QUOTE="Cascade, post: 2360951, member: 75984"]Just like this one linked below. I picked it up for $50 because of the color and didn't even look it over for a standout vam first. Well, low and behold it's a killer vam. Now, without the color, and just being an ms63 1b6 thornhead vam it would be a $400-500 +/- coin but with the color too I could possibly get $1k-2k for it if I consigned it to heritage. The point I'm trying to make is to validate heavycam's statement. Big money can be made by finding a killer vam from a dealer who doesn't know any better.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1921s-toned-1b6.270168/#post-2280858" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1921s-toned-1b6.270168/#post-2280858">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1921s-toned-1b6.270168/#post-2280858</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have the relaxation aspect.
