I am not in the position to hire people to travel around the world doing checks on auction houses’ listing accuracy (especially in a covid world who knows if this is an option). I have to trust that an auction house accurately advertises the coins they have, flaws or not, via description and pictures. No one should have to pay for a representative to fly around the world just to get transparency from an auction house.

I find it to be an attractive feature of this coin. I accept that “flaw”</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not accept the wire brushed? surfaces that weren’t noted &amp; shown clearly in the pictures. I understand the subjectivity concerning the edge chip, but the pics blended it in and shouldve been noted for accuracy. A simple “obverse edge chip possibly made during minting process noted for accuracy” would’ve sufficed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
