Not to sound conspirational, but I wonder if an unscrupulous buyer might crack out the coin, plug the hole, and sell it on ebay as "problem free".

Since its still not a valuable coin as problem free, that would be a lot of effort for a questionably minimal gain. Would still be hard to cover that cleaning. Not sure this coin could ever fake as a problem free no matter how hard they tried to talk it up otherwise.

Thanks to my sister, I was able to quickly accumulate the necessary amount and at the same time 2 good coins were put up for auction. One with a rating of VG08 the other G06. I managed to buy a VG08. I consider this a very successful purchase and I am insanely happy.

Congrats! That is much more desirable than the damaged one you started this thread with.
