Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 8:32 pm Its a real shame about the scratches/damage on this coin. I was not able to detect the obverse scratch in the 2x2 holder. The reverse, I had noticed a nick in the M of America, but had no idea it was this bad. I can still barely detect the obverse scratch in a coin-flip, and I know what I'm looking for. The reverse scratch is more visible now. So, I have a new exercise. I'm going to practice examining coins through 2x2's and coin-flips. New pictures taken in daylight. Angled to try and capture toning. Edited by Jadey 11/29/2018 2:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 8:38 pm The mark at 12 o'clock on the reverse may indicate solder removal and should cause investigation to see if there is any damage on the rim in that area in case it may be ex-jewelry. Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 8:53 pm The scratch wouldn't be enough to detail it. I doubt that spot is solder. I would say 55 probably 58. Report this Post to the Staff

Good observation. I looked and didn't see anything on the rim. It is difficult to tell what that mark is. I may try to get a couple of other pictures tomorrow that show the true color. It has a nice toning on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/29/2018 1:14 pm I'd venture at least 55, but I'd like to see a better pic of the upper obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 11/29/2018 2:31 pm I edited the original post with more pictures. I had not seen Coinfrog's comment, so please let me know if this will suffice. Report this Post to the Staff
