navycapt1635 Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 06/27/2020 2:14 pm I have many foreign coins, a few of which have nicks on the rim. I'm going to post one Vatican 1831-B Scudo as an example. It is a somewhat rare version and there are two currently on ebay. The coin's surfaces are both excellent (I would say XF-40), but there are about 6 small nicks on the rim. I've read a couple of articles online that indicate that the nicks downgrade the value significantly. Could someone please take a look and let me know what you think? Thanks.

angelo New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 1:29 pm Cleaning is usually ok for Italian Papal collectors, but rim nicks are not. While this is a rather scarce coin it would probably be a details coin for the nicks and the repair Report this Post to the Staff
