just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 10:00 am Nice restoration. Just curious about how did all those scratches get on a coin that was supposed to come from the Mint and sealed in plastic? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/06/2014 10:32 am The mint set coins back then weren't handled with kid gloves lake the proof coins are. They were handled like regular business strikes which means the potential for scratches and contact marks. Report this Post to the Staff
