They highlight the bigger issue, IIRC.

depending on what you want for it, I would be very interested (I tried to send you a PM but it qwould not let me). I am going to put it in an album anyhow so I am not too concerned about rim damage (now if it was cleaned that would be a turn-off. Let me know if you are looking to get rid of it.

Coins with minor rim damage such as the one you posted make good candidates for cracking out a placing in an album because the album helps to hide rim dings.

BTW if you are masking the serial number (why bother?) also mask the bar code too...

 Every slabbed coin on sale in Korea seems to have their cert number and barcode covered up, when it is necessary with some items to check their cert number in the TPG website to see if it matches the coin for sale. I've always wondered why people would do it. Maybe to protect the slab from counterfeiting by not showing the cert number, etc. that will be necessary when faking a slab? |

Now that you point it out jack, all the slabbed coins with two problems have damaged OR tooled, cleaned OR damaged, cleaned OR scratched.

Not that I have ever seen. https://goccf.com/t/151028The OR indicates the marks were from one or the other but they were unable to tell not that it really made a difference. This coin was holed then plugged and then tooled but the slab only lists the main problem which is the plugged hole http://www.ebay.com/itm/1793-WREATH...em338dd40d07Edited by jack jeckel

40% sounds very reasonable. I'd rather buy a coin with a rim ding like yours over something that's been heavily cleaned/polished. I'll even take a coin with a minor scratch over heavy cleaning/polishing. Really rim dings don't bother me much at all, especially when the coins aren't MS. For me, that's "acceptable" in the life of a coin. Now bashed and beat on, no thanks. Goes double for Trade dollars. Seems they are very hard to find that aren't chop marked, beat on, polished, etc. Tiny ding? Big whoop! |
