FrankJ New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 10:06 pm I have a chance to get this 1948 dollar at what seems like a decent price. I am a little concerned about it being so shinny and having those brown spots, but haven`t seen it in person yet. Would appreciate hearing your thoughts about the grade and the spots. Thanks!

kitkat1858 Valued Member Canada 371 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 02:19 am looks like a typical BU (low 60s grade) with typical bag marks. I don't really see the brown spots from the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 06:31 am Is that the brown spot between the I and G on the rim? And, is that a rim ding at 4 o'clock? Report this Post to the Staff

FrankJ New Member Canada 16 Posts	Posted 09/01/2011 08:31 am Between the I and G is one of the brown spots and it is one that concerns me most as it almost looks pitted. It also looks like the rim might be crushed a bit at the same spot. There is one at the base of the neck (0630) that is bigger. Also near the rim at 0930 and 1030 (I and V). Other than the one between the I and G, it could just be light toning. I did not notice the ding at 4, thank you for pointing that out. I will have to go see it. He wants $1200 for it.
