baseballfan90 Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 7:36 pm Hello, I am thinking of making an offer on this coin. It would be for my type set. My goal is AU or better. These are the sellers photos. My main concern is the mark under lady liberty's eye. Does that look like a scratch? I zoomed in on the larger photo for a closer view. Hope that helps. Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

DmanofLV Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 8:30 pm It appears to be a very light scratch. Acceptable for most AU to BU+ Morgans unless you want to get into high grade certified coins. If it were a gash or deep scratch, they are not as desirable. A good rule, don't pay more than what you think you could sell it for. Make an offer if that is possible. If you send in to have certified, add that cost to what you want to pay. I never pay full market price for a coin unless I am desperate or down to the last several coins to complete a collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 8:54 pm I would pass on the coin. I paid $60 for this MS62 Blast white with a solid strike as the coin is common in the low MS grades. Report this Post to the Staff
baseballfan90 Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 9:20 pm Thank you for your opinion everyone. I was leaning towards passing but just wanted to hear the opinion of more experienced collectors. The main reason why I was considering this coin is because I believe this coin is a VAM 17B. I'll keeping looking for a better example. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 9:28 pm Yeah, it's a 17B but that is a common VAM although very busy and interesting. I've picked two from the wild in the past couple years. Report this Post to the Staff
