[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 172733, member: 1242"]bobergfe, Graffiti on a coin is where someone intentionally writes something on the coin such as Initials, a name, a remarkor whatever! This is usually done with a small knife blade or something else small. Some may do this out of love for another person, others do it out of ignorance while others do it, to intentionally cause harm (numismatic value wise or financially) to the owner of the coin. I trully believe from my inspection of the pictures, that the coin does not have any Graffiti on it but does have a few bag marks or other nicks that may lower the value a little. However, I still stick with my original assessment! If you could provide a few more pictures showing close-ups of the Indian's Headdress, his' braids below the ear and the Bear claws on the Obverse and a few close-ups around E PLURIBUS UNUM and the Eagle's details (wing, breast and leg feathers), we should be able to give a little better assessment of the grade of the coin!
