Otherwise it would have [I]exactly[/I] the look I like in a James I shilling: nice portrait, nice toning, and nice round flan, in that order. But even with the scratches, it's priced at over $140 (and likely would have been more expensive without them). So on a budget, the $60 one you're looking at, despite the less detailed portrait, is in my opinion a better buy for the money, maybe.
