Paul St Louis Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 06/05/2024 6:54 pm 5g 20.5mm I realize I've probably hit my quota for posts for one day, but here goes... A beautiful coin with some large rim dents and deep scratch across the shield, as well as a die break across the date. I am wondering how much this affects the coin grade. The reverse another die break and what looks like some cleaning scratches within the '5'. I want to cut them a fair deal and not overly gouge them on pricing the value of the coin, as they are good friends. Thanks in advance, I'll stop clogging the site with new postings now. I think.
