Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 6:00 pm I'll say VG details (extensive rim damage, ED). Report this Post to the Staff
Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 563 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 6:05 pm Thanks. It makes sense there is Tim damage since the shape looks like a dodecagon Report this Post to the Staff

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2280 Posts	Posted 09/03/2022 11:38 pm Considerable damage, not worth $18. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff
Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 03:21 am The coin is definitely a "details". I think you overpaid. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 03:44 am Coin is considered damaged and referred to as a cull. On the wholesale market these are worth about $2 each as long as they have dates and no holes. At 18$ you overpaid but consider it as "tuition" toward your numismatic education. I've been dealing with coins for 60+ years and I'm still paying "tuition" on occasions! It just goes with the territory! Report this Post to the Staff
NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2280 Posts	Posted 09/04/2022 04:49 am westernsky- I truly commend you on your choice of words and delivery. I strive to be more like you in the future. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff
