<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1872073, member: 19463&quot;]Is the last coin in the first photo a die match for the rough one in the last photo?&nbsp; I consider this last coin a serious candidate for adding some filler (Bondo?) and minor tooling to make it a $100k coin.&nbsp; It has good raised detail (except for the missing S of SC) so there would be little reason to recut raised detail.&nbsp; Filling the holes, smoothing and adding a new patina would turn this coin into a good looking item that would appeal strongly to many of the less well educated but big budget bidders.&nbsp; Should that be done?&nbsp; Of course not.&nbsp; Will it?&nbsp; It depends on who bought it.&nbsp; I&#039;d save this photo and see if the next good looking example on the market looks familiar.&nbsp;&nbsp; As it is, I agree with Ides rating of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
