Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/24/2010 10:30 am I recently acquired a second 1819 over 8 (small 9) that is a bit better than my previous one I have in the Dansco. BUT, the new one has a reverse circular gouge. Which coin should I display? I'm in a quandary... (No, not a laundry... C'mon focus!) I'll take a grade on these too, if you feel inclined. First one (newest with reverse circular gouge): Second: Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

The condition of the newer coin is better than the second one, I'd say VF-35. But the gouge is a problem an IMO the coin is damaged and should not be put in the Album. I would use the second coin.
