[QUOTE="900fine, post: 734323, member: 6036"]Welcome, Brian ! :high5: I hope you enjoy the board. It's always hard to tell from scans. I don't think the coin is fake, but it has serious problems. The region behind the head appears to be a poorly done repair. Surfaces in general look beat. Though it has good details (maybe 35), it's had a tough life. Unless you want to fill a hole for cheap, I would pass. Personally, I wouldn't give more than VF20 money for this one. There are some positives. It's a middle die state with a balanced strike.[/QUOTE]
