Brand - what do you make of that sphere on Rev at 5:30? No idea. On a nickel, I would call that a die chip. But on vintage coins with denticles, there is all kinds of stuff that can be misplaced or clashed into the teeth. Obviously if the expert wants to examine the coin, his answer is going to be the right one. |

I went over the Reverse again and this caught my eye as well. At 5:30 That appears to be a substance on the slab such as a small drop of oil or damage on the surface of the plastic. The circular distortion of the dentil is blurred, as well as the dentil to the left which may hint that it is not on the surface of the coin but rather the surface of the slab.

Just spoke with Rick. I'll likely ship it off to him in a few weeks. Will post what comes of it here.

So I'll guess it was a tiny bead of oil, or liquid, that made it onto the camera lens or slab while the auction house was imaging. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Decided against sending this in to Rick for attribution. I see no potential for value increase and, as such, it makes little sense to add more costs to my purchase.

While I don't disagree with your thoughts on adding costs to a purchase, I would do it more for adding my name into a numismatic resource as the discoverer of a new variety. I have 2 entries in Rick's attribution guide as the "attributed to".

Indeed! Who knew the cost for numismatic celebrity was the same as two-way shipping and insurance?  |
