    Thanks guys! I bought it graded as a fine and thought i might be on to something with the odd markings below the 7.

    No grade---the rim dent is sufficient to render it a details coin--fine details.

    Fine if buying--VF if selling (sigh). If you got it in the 70 to 75 dollar range you did ok...100 would be a little high, IMO.

    Overton 114, an R-3 (slightly scarce...201-500 examples) die marriage. The rim digs--although noticeable--don't really bother me that much at this grade level.

    Thanks bust chaser! I paid $60 for it. The rim hits dont bother me either. If it was AU or better i wouldnt pay full boat with rim damage.
