Interesting Peace Vam seen on EBAY

A couple of weeks ago, I asked the VAM experts to give me an opinion on a coin that went for moon money. No, I did not bid on it.

The consensus is that the coin was a VAM-4, which is a rarer coin.

That's not the problem, however. The problem is that I see the same coin being auctioned off again by the same seller.

Not sure if the buyer did not pay or whatever, but I just wanted to put a caveat emptor out there for everyone, just in case.

    It appears that the coin was returned by the purchaser...that would be my guess... maybee it's not a VAM 4

    It is the same coin and it is a VAM 4. However, if you look at the description well enough, you will see that in the new auction, the coin is listed as "cleaned" and "sold as is". This was not in the original auction, so one can only guess that since the coin was cleaned, the person did not want to keep it.
