I was looking at tonight's teletrade auction and one of the coins is incorrectly identified. Item 1836 in auction 2558 is labeled as a VAM-166 on the holder. It is not.

The society of silver dollar collectors has a small guide to identifying the 166 on the bottom left of this page:

I realized we need to update the VAMworld page ;-)
If sold as a VAM-166, someone is going to be very upset with the misattribution as a true VAM-166 is rare and expensive. Realizing teletrade only reported what is on the IGC holder, I emailed them but wanted others aware.

As one of the many people who still need a VAM 166 (don't we all?), I was planning to either win the coin or make Joe and John work very hard ($) to get it!
