<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 370455, member: 9474"]Not to hijack this thread, but what's everyone's thoughts on this since we are talking three cent pieces? Here is what I see - rim damage on obverse between 1-2 O'clock, between 7-8 and between 9-10. Rim damage around 10 O'Clock on the reverse. At first I thought that this is most likely man made damage, but then I read this article in Coin World titled "Ragged clips, the scarcest of incomplete planchet errors". This damage almost looks like some of the pics in the article, but this wasn't as severe. And then rim damage at 2 O'Clock. Can't really see it in the pics, but it is there. Also, it appears that the coin has corrosion on it. The coin was graded by the shop owner as fine. I bid on this and won it. I don't know if I paid too much, so let me know value thoughts. I liked these coins, but have never collected them. I should have waited to learn more about the coins before I bought one. Unfortunately, I didn't see the damage on the rims before I bid. Also, the date is 1860 - I don't know why it doesn't show up well in the pics? Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
