jpo Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 5:33 pm I picked this up a while back for not much over melt value. It has nicks on the rim at 11:30 and 4:00 but has no bend at all, no matter how much I try to find it. If this were TPG'd, what is the likelihood it grades as damaged? Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 8:21 pm Regardless of whether this would not get an actual grade or not because of a couple of rim nicks it would still be worth sending it in just to get it authenticated. Lately I have seen more fake gold dollars popping up. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
slowaltima Valued Member United States 203 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 9:09 pm IMO, it would come back as damaged due to the rim. That being said, I agree with Gyrene as having it authenticated would be a plus. I don't know if all of those marks are scratches on the coin, some on the reverse appear to be die breaks. Not an expert on these coins at all, but I think you did good with it. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 10:50 pm I think it would be more likely to come back with a details grade than not. At the price you paid, I think you did well. Nice die clash! Report this Post to the Staff
jpo Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 11:43 pm Thanks guys, I hadn't even noticed the die clash until you pointed it out, but once you did it is pretty much ...as plain as the nose on your face. There is not a doubt in my mind that it is authentic and it isn't going anywhere so not worried about getting authenticated. I was just curious if that was a several hundred dollar ding or not.
