<p>[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 542813, member: 13342"]I realize you guys may be kicking me right now(thinking I made a stupid decision), but I did purchase the coin. It is every bit as nice as the pictures display, and the obverse has some gorgeous irridscent toning that is only somewhat evident in the photos. I see no obverse rim nick, but I do see the "gash" that is being referred to. It is interesting, because it is inline with the "finning" on the coin. It may very well bodybag if considered damage, but it honestly doesnt bother me one bit. The coins luster and toning matches the look of my toned type set very nicely.</p><p> </p><p>Anyways, I do think this seller undergrades on some if his coins. Here are some other examples of undergraded gold he has for sale:</p><p> </p><p>Assuming this 3 dollar piece is genuine, it is definitely better than a VF. Still, I would never buy one of these raw.</p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1855-3-PRINCESS-GOLD-COIN_W0QQitemZ380110270977QQihZ025QQcategoryZ39468QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1855-3-PRINCESS-GOLD-COIN_W0QQitemZ380110270977QQihZ025QQcategoryZ39468QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1855-3-PRINCESS-GOLD-COIN_W0QQitemZ380110270977QQihZ025QQcategoryZ39468QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p> </p><p>This $1 gold is certainly better than VF as well.</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1862-1-PRINCESS-HEAD-GOLD-COIN_W0QQitemZ400036750535QQihZ027QQcategoryZ149937QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1862-1-PRINCESS-HEAD-GOLD-COIN_W0QQitemZ400036750535QQihZ027QQcategoryZ149937QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1862-1-PRINCESS-HEAD-GOLD-COIN_W0QQitemZ400036750535QQihZ027QQcategoryZ149937QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p> </p><p>It is nice to see some ebay sellers that are more than fair on there grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
