[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 6112953, member: 77704"]I think its a fabulous coin/ the mark is hardly noticeable. Also agree with all others, that yours is way more beautifull:D Your photo is also superior. I collect all periods, including 19th/18th centuries, where one finds "Ajustment marks". I can live with that, minor marks/ clipping/ crude strikes. However, I stay away from "holed"/ harshly cleaned/ smoothed/ removed from mount/ polished sort of defects. Here is a coin from Basel/ 1653 The reverse show characteristic poor strike due to bad reverse dies. Second is a Double Souverain d'or 1747 Anterpen Mint/ struck for the Austrian Netherlands/ Brabant/ Empress Maria Theresia note> obverse die had cracks.
