Message:: [QUOTE="ckachu16, post: 618456, member: 19019"]You all bring up great points and thanks for all your help. I do know the dangers of buying these coins raw, which is why I wanted to get your opinions before my money back return is up. I also thought the same as far as this coin possibly being circulated (AU), especially with the "wear" on the eagle wing. It doesnt look to be wear though and I am pretty sure that the 1908 coins were pretty soft on the shoulder area and I know that they had to revise the hub in 1909 so the coins from then on will show more detail in this area. I agree on the luster seeming to be non present on this coin, however this can too be deceiving and hard to tell from pics. I have not received the coin yet and have also only seen these pics. In fact, I havent even paid for it yet, which is why I am getting all this feedback first. Yes, I bought it on an auction site, and yes I know the dangers of this. I know that I have bought many coins from this specific dealer and know his reputation and his experience. I still am unsure whether to go through with it though, and as many of you have said, I might want to go with getting a slabbed one until I know more about them. I appreciate all your help![/QUOTE]
