What I can't understand is why this coin is being billed in every other sentence or so as an "L." Isn't is assumed that the designer's initial is going to hold up in a coin of this grade? In fact, wouldn't it be "rarer" if it didn't?   01-22-2007, 02:14 PM   #7 (permalink) acanthite ALIIS DIVES     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Western hemisphere Posts: 1,880 My Mood: That has to be one of the biggest ripoffs I've seen yet.   01-22-2007, 02:33 PM   #8 (permalink) CentDime Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 654 That is a pretty bad scratch on the cheek, ouch.

The seller is asking around MS-63 money for the piece.   01-23-2007, 11:36 AM   #13 (permalink) silvrluvr Senior Member     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Minnesota Posts: 875 My Mood: Maybe this seller just has a vivid imagination.... He sure likes to use a lot of adjectives. Item descriptions as long as his must be a red flag! __________________ -Jeff in MN _______________________________________ Knowledge, patience, discipline.
