[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 7900106, member: 41219"]Also, why would you fill in the banker's mark. I understand that a "perfect" coin is more desirable but wouldn't the filling in this case make it less so? The banker's mark is original to the coin and the time period. I'd rather have one with the mark in it showing it was used in trade vs one that had the mark and was filled to be more aesthetically pleasing.
