<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 291797, member: 3726&quot;]Post a link to this one of many of Bones insightful threads.&nbsp; I would say MS63 - really nice coin.&nbsp; What is that spot on the left side of the coin?&nbsp; That is the only thing I really see that causes concern.&nbsp; I have passed on auctions on coins that have a spot like this because I can&#039;t tell if it is corrosion or just an imperfection on the coin.&nbsp; I probably missed some good coins because of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I must say pictures can never replace having the coin in hand.&nbsp; If you look at that 1852 large cent that I posted, you can see the first set makes the pin scratch look awful.&nbsp; The second set makes it look close to what the coins is really like - you have to get it just right to see the scratch.&nbsp; The difference in the two pictures are where the light was placed in relation ship to the coin.&nbsp; What I have found is that pictures (no matter how good) show what a coin really looks like in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
