zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 9:02 pm Yeah that's what I thought too. Otherwise a very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 9:07 pm Could be shill action, but I didn't check the bidder deets. If that's repaired, it's fooling me. The nose looks a little funny, though. File this under reasons why I don't collect EAC. Edited by FadeToBlack 11/25/2013 9:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
g048406 Pillar of the Community 861 Posts	Posted 11/25/2013 10:40 pm Looks like a major discoloration/repair cut-out done on the obverse that is rectangular in shape and encompasses the "Y" in LIBERTY that goes from 1:30 to 2:30. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/26/2013 2:28 pm There is also what appears to be a faint circular area through the bottom serif of the C and left foot of the A. I also think the highest wave of the hair has been worked on some because it's position below the R is wrong for S-158 and that is what this coin is. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 08:39 am The rim bothers me but without seeing the edge I can't tell if that's the problem or not. BUT Since the seller doesn't appear to be hiding anything AND admits to it being repaired I would definitely believe him. Nice coin; go for it if you're willing to accept a DETAILS coin.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36606 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 11:52 am Might have had scratches that were removed from the surface then recolored. If it was a plug job the guy that did it was an artist as he would have had to put all the parts of the missing lettering back on the reverse. I have seen that done but it usually is easily seen. For a details coin, this one is a beauty. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 11/27/2013 12:21 pm I don't think it was a complete hole through the coin, looks more like surface damage on both sides, the nose and top of liberty's hair is suspect, and the discolored spot on the reverse may have had some work done to it. Very well done repair job however. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
