scottk Pillar of the Community United States 767 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 3:28 pm I can't tell from the pics if there is cleaning/recoloring. The price seems pretty low for a coin that appears to be high au - near unc. The title says there is "minor damage". I don't see anything that would warrant a details grade as far as damage goes though. The description says the same thing as the title. Then goes on with about 70,000 words on shipping, payment, and returns. Aaaaarrrr... Not really thinking of buying it. I don't find it particularly attractive. Just curious why the low price? http://www.ebay.com/itm/301225510363 Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 7:37 pm No way I'm paying that price for a coin with "minor damage". Hold out for a better specimen without any problems. Report this Post to the Staff
