"it has a big die break that has produced huge Cuds on both sides"
It's pretty obvious that "repair" was done after the coin was cleaned of corrosion.

Like the others, it's a lot of trouble to sell metal scrap.

One of the more unusual holed and plugged coins I've seen for sale on ebay.

The opening bid for this masterpiece speaks for itself

I'm pretty sure I busted a gizzard. Great starting price, along with the fact that the reserve has not been met on that one.
