[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 541160, member: 8959"]Thank H.T for the friendly advice! i just took better pics of the coin. The white spots you see on OP pics were, i think, fluff from the 2x2. P.S: This coin always reminds me of a story i read about 15/20 years ago about a collector at a show (Michigan i think) who picked up a Massachusetts Cent from a dealers junk box, just because he thought it was different somehow. However, he could not quite tell what about it was different. In his curiosity he then went out and bought himself a red book or some catalogue, and then to his amazement he found out exactly what was different: the coin he had bought for a few dollars was the very rare "arrows on the left talon" variety instead of the usual arrow on the right type!! Worth, if i recall, a couple of thousand $$ even back then. The article said that the collector then went back to the dealer to share with him the news and the financial benefits, but the dealer refused saying that what was sold was sold! Eduard[/QUOTE]
