syarnie New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 6:33 pm I've owned this coin for 8 years now and it was in this PCGS holder when I bought it. I've always been puzzled on the repair that they're referring to. It's my only Details/Repaired coin so I just don't have much experience with them or know all the different things to look for. Can I get an opinion on what the repair would have been and what the original damage was? thanks Edited by syarnie 01/11/2023 6:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 7:42 pm @sya, sometimes this is used to describe a coin that had been holed and then plugged, but I'm not seeing that here. My best guess is that this coin was mounted, such as for a brooch or pendant and then these additions were later removed and the metal smoothed back down. This work may only be visible on the edge. In any case, that is a pretty sweet 18th century silver coin.

syarnie New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 10:28 pm Really appreciate it. I figured it must be rim damage they saw and glad to know you both don't see anything else on it. Sometimes good discounts in the market on these slabbed coins with details grade where the damage or repair seems very minor in the scheme of things and really doesn't bother me personally.
