If the top arrow feather is flat it’s the second but if it’s pointed it’s the third. The second is better to have. I’m not sure if they make this...
Glad your not upset. :)
Sorry my phone changes words and I don’t always catch them. It should be a fast and speedy recovery. My apologies and I did edit it. Now I really...
Definitely damaged. It’s been ground down. And you shouldn’t use metal tweezers to hold a coin. Shame on you girl. :)
I’d need to see a photo first.

Looks like damage to me.
Very nice looking coin and I agree with the Fine grade. Having said that I think it would be in your best interest if you took some pliers and...
