Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 03/02/2014 10:46 pm Jerry, I agree with VF details, and the price seems about right for the quality. I would advise being more patient and selective regarding quality. In addition to the scratches, the color of the reverse indicates cleaning to some extent. A coin with these issues will tend to nag at the owner as time goes by, and buyers remorse may set in. A question I ask myself every time I'm contemplating a coin purchase is; would I have trouble selling this coin if I decide to do so? If the answer is yes, I don't buy it. Having the patience to sacrifice quantity for quality will result in a more satisfying collection faster than you think. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3160 Posts	Posted 03/02/2014 10:52 pm I agree that the coin has some issues. It is not for my collection as I will resell it locally to a coin shop. Sometimes I win sometimes I break about even. Just do it for the chance to maybe make a couple of bucks to help pay for the nicer coins that I do keep to collect. Report this Post to the Staff
