TJB17 Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 12:33 am Found this roll hunting. The amount of detail in Jeff's hair makes me think this wasn't a traditional low ball coin, but was mechanically ground down to look like this. Does this still qualify as a lowball coin, or is it too mechanically "dehanced" to qualify? Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with you something seems to have been done to that one since that one spot is kind of untouched. On the bright side though you could use it as a pocket piece and wear that high point down which could save it from a details grade Report this Post to the Staff
