<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 8317437, member: 73266&quot;]I&#039;m no expert on the coin, in fact I have never owned a gold coin. When I looked at this coin, not being slabbed is the last thing that would cross my mind, why, because I never buy the slab couldn&#039;t care less about them. I saw a coin that by the artistic design from this period of the time, it appears to be spot on and authentic. There are many scratches on the coin as if it has been rattled around in a coin purse for a bit and the scratches in the field to the upper right of the bust appear to be an employee trying to lap the die to remove a clash that remains evident. The scratches are strait and do not appear to cross the devices. The thing that I would have to research like the OP is the mint mark itself to see if it has been altered. Since I am not an expert why am I replying, because at the bottom of the page on my screen, they gave me a &quot;Post Reply&quot; button.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
