<p>[QUOTE="heineken, post: 1478310, member: 38909"]i looked up the code, it was for damage, but maybe it was for damage and cleaning, not sure. the words on the rim are all good, except for one or 2 letters, but they are not worn off or anything, just dinged, or maybe bottom of letter worn off, but still easy to see everything and read the words. someone might have used a buffing wheel or something at one point, because after i dipped it, one spot looked more shinny under a loop. maybe a deep scratch someone buffed out. OR i spend too much time reading stuff on the internet haha. I am no expert, but as much as bust dollars go for, and everything i have read, i am sure that many have been doctored or attempted to hide flaws, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the info on the exact strike. its a cool coin, i love the history and how the 8 was changed into a 9, and then the die cracking seen in the coin is cool as well. Not gradable, but I kind of like the fact it has a rough past, who knows how many people owned it at one point, or used it. Cool piece of history to hold in your hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
