[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 6304999, member: 19250"]This specimen is very tricky....its a hammered strike that has underlying issues of course thats my opinion. I can tell you and I wont name names....the wholesalers from a certain company seek out coins like this....at the Whitman show Baltimore. I am friends with 25 plus dealers here in the mid Atlantic area. These guys love coins like this one....why they can put them up on ebay and let the bid idots go nuts....pictures are doctored for a fact as I have seen a coin in hand before and know for a fact that yes the coin looks good....then when one looks closer one see's that the coin does have issues. I have worked Whitman and the dealer tell me that dude is from "xyz" looking for coins as such. Good dealers want quality inventory....if they have questionable coins they do unload them Who wants to sell a coin at a show to have the customer make a fuss on the coin show floor that you sold then a problem coin. So they dump problems ....Working the shows you learn alot....you see alot....I have seen the wholesale guys told at a local show to move on...not to approach the dealers in the room.... or your ban. Again nice coin..she has.... but coins like this one can be dangerous in the market place...my honest opinion.[/QUOTE]
