Greetings everyone,
My name is John and it is great to be here
I've been a closet collector for some time now but it had always been a background hobby. My parents got me interested in it at a young age and got some pretty cool coins trading with kids at school. Other hobbies took up most of my time and money but i always look through my change, saving wheat pennies and can always hear the crisp cling of a silver quarter or dime when it's dropped into my change
Unfortunately like many folks I have recently lost my job which sucks, but has also left me with some free time and a few cool finds at local banks has sparked my interest again! So much so in fact that I have gotten my parents to invest some money with me and would love to turn it into a hobby/business but I have a long way to go before that happens.
I can be somewhat long winded so I wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone for all of the useful info I have already found. I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now but officially have a question now and didn't know if I should post it here or somewhere else.
This is somewhat of a 2 part question so bear with me. I will try and get pictures in a bit so you can see what I am working with. One of my recent purchases was a 2009 Ultra High Relief Gold Double Eagle from the Mint as I feel it is a good investment coin. The coin is BEAUTIFUL although on the reverse side of the coin I noticed what appears to be a rough area on the top left edge. It pretty much runs along the edge all the way above the word "United".
I would like to know if this would affect the overall grade of the coin?
I would also like the community's opinion on the grade of the coin and will explain a bit more once I get some pictures up!
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!
