<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1717838, member: 27832&quot;]Here&#039;s another item from the <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t227450/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t227450/">eBay pig in a poke</a> I got a while ago. I was going through the V-nickels, sorting out some of the more <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t227865/#post1712566" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t227865/#post1712566">unfortunate ones for another thread</a>, when I came across this beauty:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]265585.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I had to stare at it for quite a long time, with different lighting and magnification, before I could be sure that this &quot;blob on the back&quot; wasn&#039;t going to be the same <b>D</b>isappointment that I&#039;ve found on all the other 1912-blob V-nicks from various batches.

I&#039;m not planning on doing anything rash to this coin, certainly not hitting it with vinegar or the like, but I <i>can</i> imagine it being made a bit more presentable. Any ideas/experience? (In this shape, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s worth shipping to NCS; I imagine there&#039;s a market for it on eBay as-is, anyhow.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to CTDirtFisher for his <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t228552/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t228552/">recent post of an even better find</a>, which got me motivated to go ahead and post this one as well. You win this round, CTDirtFisher... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
