henryvoight Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 10/05/2026 11:28 pm AU-55 or 58, maybe an old cleaning? Maybe the lighting is making it look duller. This is VAM-84. Its nice for a AU! Report this Post to the Staff

MorganNovice New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted Yesterday 07:40 am Thanks for the comments and VAM-84 identification. I went to find it in PCGS CoinFacts and it did not show up there. I was trying to see what the premium was for the VAM-84 hi Report this Post to the Staff

henryvoight Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted Yesterday 5:32 pm It's def not cleaned. 55, but a plus grade seems likely. Toning looks natural, at least to me. As a rule probably 95% of VAMS don't have any premium. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18935 Posts	Posted Today 1H 41M ago AU55 not a fan of the toning, however, its not bad enough to drop the grade. based on the color and dull surfaces, especially in photo 3 of the obv. leads me to believe it was improperly stored for an extended period of time and may have been dipped and not rinsed and dry before storing it.
