Shouldn't this be a details coin damaged/scratched? Thanks for input Report this Post to the Staff

slapsshot Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 10/07/2018 11:31 am Yep....its on the coin and seller describes it....this is just wrong Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/07/2018 1:49 pm This is another "lopsided" coin. I would venture to say the reverse is what took it up to XF45. The details of the wheat berries and kernels in the ear of corn could by rights push the reverse to a low end 50, but the Obverse is really struggling with a 40...combine the two it becomes a 45, but yes, it is not appealing at all. That scratch is not "intentional", a heavy bag mark would do that, that's not considered "damaged" to be detailed, wasn't done in a bad cleaning either, and this to me even merits a good bath(and not in acetone!)

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 10/07/2018 2:01 pm That hit on the face will not detail this coin . I tend to agree with PCGS EF-45 . I'm just not a fan of very dark toning . Also I would not dip a circulated silver coin . Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36575 Posts	Posted 10/08/2018 10:44 am Quote: Blast white with very good luster on obverse and reverse. Strike is a bit above average for many MS63. Two scratches under "In God" on obverse and other minor scratches under magnification but overall Beautiful coin. According to the description, the scratches are on the coin. I would pass on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 10/08/2018 5:21 pm https://www.PCGS.com/cert/33832220 Sellers pics are magnifying it like digital pictures can do. They're light which is why some angles even in his pics you don't see them. They most likely dropped it a grade because of it Report this Post to the Staff
