Hi all, I took a chance on this one, it was on ebay and it said it weighed 15.5g but because it was a PAF I went for it and got it for £22 which is about $35 when it came through it weighed 26.61g but has been cleaned.
What's your thoughts on grade and VAM? and did I get a good deal?

Welcome back, b17commander.

Cleaned, AU Details. VAM-4, and pretty much a steal at $35.

You have forum mail forthcoming.

Yep I agree a cleaned AU, a great deal.
From your photos I'd guess Vam-4 but here are photos of the possible others look to the unbroken "R" in trust varieties, from your photo details, it sure looks like the VAM 4.

Top 100 very collectable coin for 35 bucks, a great steal!...Well done... there are still several more VAM's with the rust next to the leg well worth looking at as you have it in hand...
