mrthrills Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 06/01/2020 4:42 pm I hope this is not going to have too many pics but in order to show the coin I had to take 12 pics close up and 2 whole coin pics. I assume this would be categorized as a bad strike? If not let me know what I should call it. TY Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 10:03 am A coin is worth what someone will pay for it. If you put it on ebay, please don't misrepresent it. Edited by Jim0815 06/02/2020 10:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
mrthrills Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 1:58 pm Would I call it a bifacial grease strike? I may put it on ebay. TY for your advice. Report this Post to the Staff
