[QUOTE="TexasMom, post: 1167070, member: 27730"][b]Pics[/b] The coin is encased in plastic, so it was a little tough to get clear pictures. This is a picture of the "O" in OF on the reverse. It starts at the first arrow and loops around the O until the last arrow. The coin is shinier in that area and shows an obvious indentation. Wouldn't a bagmark be a nick or straight line instead of looping around the letter so perfectly? [ATTACH]121313.vB[/ATTACH] These are date pics. It looks more like a scrape since it doesn't go around the number, but it has the same shiny appearance as the other. When you look at the coin from the top downward, the left side of that 2nd 8 looks squared off rather than oval. [ATTACH]121314.vB[/ATTACH] Also, to me the first 8 looks like it might be doubled in that pic. Here's a picture of the 1 which I thought looked doubled at the bottom left: [ATTACH]121315.vB[/ATTACH] Lastly, there are some letters that look funny like this L from the reverse (look at the blob like area on the top right side of it) : [ATTACH]121316.vB[/ATTACH] I was told in a different post that it has a weak strike b/c of the hair blending together, the floating leaves, etc.[/QUOTE]
