biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/12/2011 12:24 am My thoughts- stay away from it! Pics are terrible- small and blurred. That could be intentional with the seller deliberately trying to obscure the repaired area. If someone goes through the hassle and expense of having a coin repaired, then it probably had a major problem- like a hole. Repairs are typically done on high dollar coins because a good repair is not cheap and expensive coins have the most to gain by a repair but this coin would definitely not qualify as "high dollar" so I am not sure why someone would attempt to repair it I do know of one individual that specializes in repairing coins, he is very good at what he does but intentionally leaves traces of the repair as evidence. http://www.crs-stockton.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 01/12/2011 08:49 am Looking at the pics, my guess is that it was holed at about 10 o'clock - right to the right/above Liberty's outstretched hand. You can see some evidence of this on the reverse near the A and D of "TRADE" as well (I believe). Some of these repairs can be expertly done, with the details re-engraved so that it's hard to tell. It all really comes down to price. I did a little bit of looking at Completed listings; I saw one other holed/repaired Trade in an ANACS slab that went for $99 and several others that were in details or genuinue slabs - usually cleaning - in the $100-150 range. I'd probably pick cleaned over damaged though. I think it's ok to own these personally so long as they have nice eye appeal and are priced right. Looks like problem free coins are in the $250-300 range. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Edited by KenKat 01/12/2011 08:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
