It is just breaks in the toning and for many it is a detractor. For me, it increases the originality of the coin. I love the coin the way it is...
If he is doing that to the coin and he is not a child then I will eat my hat. JK
How did the value of the coin decrease. It started as a quarter and it remains a quarter.
Why do you feel like a total fool? I doubt goldstone was in the top two. My guess is that he put in the $200 sniper bid and lost.

Okay, that is close enough. The toning breaks are such that it will turn some off on the eye appeal of the coin. Since the star designation...
That it is!
Perhaps we need a different photo of the obverse. It is extremely difficult to grade deeply toned coins via photos. Here is a photo using...
