tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 12:29 pm That's a lot of money to ask for a coin that has been altered. I'm guessing it has been graded but put into a 2x2 to eke out some more value..... Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 2:38 pm I was going to post that coin as a whizzed example too. It's a textbook example. Here's what to look for: 1. Look at the surfaces and notice the micro-grooved surfaces. Parallel in patches, yet in other area, the parallel lines are going in another direction. 2. Look for a coin that at first glance looks like an ms67!! I often refer to this type of whizzed coin as: "Good from far, but far from good."

lyradnoj Pillar of the Community Canada 548 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 11:24 pm At least the seller of this coin is completely honest in describing it. Although I suspect he might come to regret his honesty. Report this Post to the Staff

tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 11:34 am How can anyone regret one's honesty? Honesty and marketing do not go together. I doubt he will get anywhere near his asking price if he needs to sell this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
