[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 363899, member: 1242"]Eduard, I copied and pasted the picures to my PC, brightened them up and zoomed in for a closer look and it appears that the coin was repaired. Although I cannot be 100% certain of this without the coin in hand but if the missing cloud on the Reverse is in direct relation to the indentation on Miss Liberty's bossom, then that is probably the case. If so, then the Silversmith that repaired the hole, did an excellent job even if it is still detectable! I have seen some botched, mediocre and good repairs but if it is in fact a repair, then the person that did it, did and excellent job! That is what I believe but please do not take my word for it and have it examined by a professional. Also, you might want to compare it with the one on Coinfacts at the following link.
