There are far worse places that gouge could be. I'd say it would probably grade, but not a sure thing.

TPGs are going to need to use thicker slabs for these....
There you have it. Send a quick courtesy note to the original buyer letting him know your findings.
When bringing in coins from the cold, allow the package containing them (bubble mailer, 2x2, air-tite, flip, tube, box, etc.) to reach room...

While I don't pay for or get into promotional labels, I am thankful for people that pay the TPGs for them. The extra money they receive for doing...
Rims look square, and other than the hack on the neck, there doesn't appear to be any chattery marks in the usual places. If I'm wrong, I can...
