Comments

This was previously grouped with KM#Tn7 as the same coin without a KM#, and most NGC certified coins only mark them as "PARLIMENT" variety, and this is why they where considered the same. But when the KM#s were given, the normal one was separated into Tn7 which is its current number and this one got Tn6.
