Thanks CH. I'm generally working more than fishing but it's a great job. Doesn't feel like work most of the time!

Excellent pick Will ! The gouge isn't a gouge though. It is a remnant of the clash that put the clashed S mintmark on the reverse. Here is a overlay of my VEDS example that shows where that clash mark came from.  This kind of clash mark is seen on tilted die clashes as well |

Most of the time that clash would not be noticed. But a clash doesn't always affect the same exact area each time. I've seen areas affected before that usually aren't affected.     The normal area of a Jailhouse clash wasn't affected a strong. But that is what it is on the Wheat cent with the mintmark showing. Nice solution to this issue. |

Enjoy fishing..... check and see the mouth of the fish you will catch, you might be gifted with a coin in addition to your new coin coming...  Just remembered, the story of the tax collector..... oh well, tax season, too.  |

Bad news on this one. As soon as I opened it the color was off. Look on the original pic and in the left field there are scratches. Harshly cleaned. I thought I was getting better at spotting these but I guess I was too excited about the variety.  |

I feel your pain Will. I always call my VEDS coin an example because it has seen a dip in the past . I wish people would leave a nice coin as is !  |

Wow, sorry to hear that. I didn't see it as cleaned either but another good example of how closely you have to look and still basically guess at times whether something has been cleaned or not. Hope you score a killer straight one to make up for it!

To create a "washout' on the images. I'm leary of sellers that do the same thing with bright or deep red backgrounds. The reflection off the background seems to alter/affect the colors compared to actual colors in hand. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I'm probably going to return this one. I do have one other of these but it is so toned that it might get questionable color if I sent it in. I posted this one a few months ago.   |

Not even questionable color. That's flat out artificial toning, and based on what I see cleaned as well.
