Message:: [QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 2430671, member: 7638"]While I think the coin's details are vf30, I doubt that it should be in a graded holder. When I bought the coin, the seller's photos were pretty standard ones, and I really didn't notice the rim cut.  It was there ,but I did not go out of my way to look for it.  I was more interested in the fields and the devices being relatively unmarked and they were. Once I had the coin in front of me, on tilting the holder a bit I could see a substantial dig, a little crater, really, in the edge behind the rim cut.  After I saw that I could not get it out of my head and today I returned the coin for a refund. While the TPG's will overlook a rim bump or 2, as they should on these large heavy coins that actually circulated, I think damage like this should be noted. So I guess you could call this both a "caveat emptor" and a "mea culpa" thread; I should have looked more closely before buying.  As to the surfaces, they are fine for a circulated coin.  In my photos I increased the contrast some to bring out the details, and I think it made the skin look funky.  Sorry about that.[/QUOTE]
