<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2005765, member: 19463&quot;]While I certainly agree that the centering keeps this last coin way out of the $200 bracket, it does have a nice face for these.&nbsp; Yours is OK on the obverse and exceptional on the reverse.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>JA mentioned these being &#039;brick cleaned&#039; a term I apply to coins raped by archaeologists interested in seeing the type but not wanting the coinafter it has been IDed.&nbsp; This issue was struck on flans smoothed by filing and many show residual file marks.&nbsp; All the coins shown have them but the OP coin is faint and just at the top. When you find one with the CNG obverse and OP reverse and no file marks, you may have to pay more than the CNG price unless the seller does not know the issue.&nbsp; Patience![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
