With the two big marks in front of the bust I would have thought it would have received a lower grade. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1897-Libert...047675.l2557 Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 9:31 pm Hmm.. ok. That is odd. With those sorts of marks I woyld say MS details w/ Damage. The one on top could be a planchet flaw but the lower one is definitely a scratch. Although even if it were a planchet flaw it would be mentioned on the holder. This is odd, I don't see how this could have slipped through the ranks. Report this Post to the Staff
