realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 10/10/2011 3:02 pm http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUATEMALA-S...250903874026 This piece could have had a nice home here with me, but I've bought too much lately and it wasn't going for a too-good-to-pass-up price (though I think someone did get very a solid piece at that level)... Good looking surfaces, typical slight reflectivity for high grade Guat. pieces. A touch of very light wear. One thing - I believed those lines near the date were not scratches but die cracks - agreed? Report this Post to the Staff

beem Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 09:42 am Very nice looking coin! Looks like you got a great deal on it, too. Congrats. Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 07/08/2016 12:49 pm nicolashsing : depends, I start by trying to open them from the side cleanly with a big knife, to keep the box "in case" (I know it's useless for authentication once opened, but if a new buyer wants a grading number instead of falling in love with look of the coin itself . at least I have it somewhere). If it don't work, a hammer on the side can indeed do it - or a vise if you have that on hand :) And in any case . the idea is not to damage the coin ;) Report this Post to the Staff
