<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Pollock, post: 933460, member: 26366&quot;]i recently acquired this coin through an Ebay auction. i have looked around, bought books (i do know some things about coins certainly), searched online and have not found anything that looks like it damage-wise nor is there anything listed/noted anywhere else that suggests such a coin exists. it&#039;s very hard for me to get pictures that do this coin justice. the damage will be most easy to see. 4 of the 13 stars are missing. since the obv. side is uneven in strike, i suggest using the rev. side to more properly gauge the overall grade. to my eyes and experience this coin seem to be MS63-64! i would like thoughts on it&#039;s potential value (at auction for instance), who i should take it to for eventual certification (NGC seems most likely since the edge of this coin needs to be seen...ie: i do not want to cover the damage that exists there on both areas around the major lateral obv. crack lines-into the denticles-into the edge) and so on. does anyone here think this coin is news worthy??? i do. again, i&#039;d like others thoughts/advice and input on this. i&#039;ll try to follow this thread and assist/comment back to those who are helping/trying to help me. yes, there are several die cracks on this coin...front and back...as well as the obvious cuds on the obverse. supposedly it is a scarce to very scarce coin in MS63-MS64. there is actually a lot of original mint luster on both sides and there is no evidence of any kind of cleaning having been done to it. well, on with the pictures:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/186f2e7c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/7753505c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/569c4d70.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/001049b6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/00b41100.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/23f64751.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p148/perpetual1/22238bdb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
