Theres a difference between damage and flaws. Some flaws are interesting and add to the value. It depends who is going to bidding/buying. Someone may be after high grade error coin whilst someone might be after a flawless high grade example. They will pay largely different amounts for the same coin. The amount that PMD impacts value has to do with how detracting it is. A spot on a UNC KGV penny right on the crown is much more likely to impact value that a spot of the same size close to the rim. The focal point of the coin is the centre an the detail. So the location and degree of damage are important factors to consider when buying a coin.
That coin is overgraded and I only see it at gVF. Thr 7th and 8th pearls are too worn to warrant a higher grade IMO. As far as the planchet flaw on it goes; I dont think it inpacts value much at all on this coin.
That seller isn't a member here as far as I know and is probably the most dodgy seller on the coin section of Australian ebay. A large majority of his stuff is cleaned or misrepresented as something its not eg a proof when it clearly isn't. I would stay very very very clear of that seller, I've never heard anything good. The amazing thing is the idiots who buy the crap seem to be pleased an leave good feedback. I suppose they will be less impressed in a couple years when they go to sell it.
