chronos Pillar of the Community Lebanon 505 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 08:37 am Hello I bought a coin, a Lebanese 1 piastre zinc 1940 described as UNC by the seller. When inspecting it once received , I noticed that the upper right side is a bit raised , I couldn't see any torn signs on it , that couldn't be seen in the seller pics .What could make it like this? Is it an error or damage ? Edited by chronos 02/11/2021 12:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16816 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 6:30 pm Zinc is a quite soft metal, easily "squeezed" out of shape by being dropped or thrown onto a hard surface. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

The only way it could retain some of the value is if it was a high end coin. The coin you have would be graded a Details coin with the damage. Also it would be hard to resell if you ever wanted to as the value isn't that high that someone could not purchase one that was Details free. Report this Post to the Staff
