<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveTheCoin, post: 4678911, member: 113672&quot;]This is my first post since joining Coin Talk. Some history.&nbsp; About 25 years ago, I purchased my first coin from the (shudder!) Home Shopping Network. At the time I did not know anything about coin collecting. My wife was watching and she called me into the room to take a look at a gold coin that was being sold. I liked it, so I purchased it.&nbsp; That purchase did get me into coin collecting, so thanks HSN!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I would like to send it in to NGC for grading and wanted to get some opinions on what the coin might grade and whether you can tell from the photos if the coin has been cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, on the obverse at about the 1:00 position near the rim there is a &quot;ding&quot;. I am wondering if this occurred at the mint or if its just circulation damage. </p><p><br /></p><p>Excuse the photos as this is my first attempt at photographing coins! </p><p><br /></p><p>PS I have never purchased another coin from HSN! Although they did get me started in coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
