andrew22 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 06:45 am so I have seen people talking about WAMS for 1996 . Is the proof suppose to be a CAM or a WAM? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 07:30 am The proof should be a WAM but the 96 WAM might be a myth. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 10:52 am The example that someone found was lost. It may have been one altered like a Magicians coin. Different reverse put on it. But that one example was the only one mentioned and it was lost. So I'm saying it is a myth. If there is just one, it was probably altered. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 11:53 am Wasn't it found by a known dealer that lost his credibility because of this mystery coin? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 1:44 pm Yeah, the fact that it was unique would be pretty odd. But you also don't just lose a coin like that if you knew it was real. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 3:18 pm Yes, but even though this didn't make him look too good there remains nothing but circumstantial evidence against him. If he's telling the truth about the incident, it was nasty enough to drive a reasonable man out of numismatics and I wouldn't blame him. I'm not bringing that up here; Google will show the curious reader all they want to know. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 04/10/2015 1:16 pm I didn't google it, all I know is what I saw here. I do know that sometimes there are only inches between the keep pile and the spend pile. I also know there are quite a few "reasonable" people in numismatics. True Coop, none others have surfaced, but I say there is a reasonable doubt. Report this Post to the Staff
