<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephan77, post: 2224702, member: 74244&quot;]I&#039;m watching this really nice 67 proof coin on eBay that I really like a lot, in one of the old green PCGS holders. There is a very small nick (scratch) in the lower left obverse and I have downloaded the pic to the FastStone Image viewer on my computer, in which I can lighten/darken the image, etc. I&#039;ve tried to determine if the nick is on the holder or the coin, and I just can&#039;t seem to tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any tips on determining how to somewhat accurately know this? I&#039;ve guessed right and wrong about this on some eBay coins in the past, but I need to get this right or I will be angry about it. A small nick doesn&#039;t always bother me on an unc coin but on a proof 67 it would be unacceptable. I&#039;m not sure or not if PCGS would even grade a proof coin a 67 with a very small nick (scratch) like this on it, so I&#039;m hopeful it is on the holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may sound silly but I don&#039;t want to ask the seller about it, because he has got the coin priced lower than I think it should be, and I&#039;d like to try to get a coin I want, at a bargain price, a grand slam in my coin collecting fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course my fear is that he has the coin priced lower than it should be, because of the nick. The interesting thing is he&#039;s got some other coins listed at decent prices as well, which I might buy some of those to flip, and I&#039;m hoping he is just blowing out some coins at near wholesale for some needed quick cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but I don&#039;t want to post the eBay link and possibly one of you bastiges buys it out from under me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
