[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1817891, member: 36230"]Yes, sir, but even with that understanding, and after manipulating the photos prior to posting, I believe this example displays mistreatment above and beyond what may have happened at the mint. My response was an honest assessment based on both observed and personal experience; nothing less and nothing more. If you believe such a coin is a great buy at 35%+ above melt, that's fine and I respect your opinion, but this is not an unheard of price for what appears to be a problem specimen. Considering the BTW is most often collected as a type (as opposed to by date), are overall very common, and can he had in nice, original, and collectible grades for very modest prices, what the OP paid for a problem example was fair, but not spectacular.[/QUOTE]
