mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 12:44 pm We'll never know if that was a deliberate political statement of some sort, or just a random act of testing the strength of a blade. When I was in high school -in the previous century!- it was common practice to carry a pocketknife, and the favorite way of testing sharpness was to stab a penny and pin it to the wooden desktop.

cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2363 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 12:53 pm At first I was shocked and couldn't help but wonder how and why this happened. However, the more I look at this coin, the more I like it. It's so rare to see that much detail. Putting it all in perspective - hey - every morning when I wake up and look in the mirror I see some lines that also scare me. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win".

This was an S-9 so it's the vine and bars edge. If I had the available free cash I would consider it, I don't have an S-9. But frankly I would rather have a lower grade with environmental problems than a deliberately damaged piece. Report this Post to the Staff
