Hello,

I saw this coin up for auction but I don't know whether to buy it or not. What do you think about it and what will be a fair price for this coin?

Thanks in advance!

As long as seller will guarantee genuine, try and pay as little as possible. Details coins are tough to price, it's kinda your call.

If you buy a coin with a problem you'll always have a coin with a problem.
