<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 2219509, member: 4791&quot;]I too think the coin was mounted at some point.&nbsp; I also think based on the pictures that it has seen either a cleaning in the past or spent way to much time in a dip bath. Now for the mark on the rim at 3:30, that is damage. I suspect it is from one of the prongs that held the coin in place. With all that said, Chris has given you sound advice and I agree with his explanations. Would this coin be a candidate for an auction?&nbsp; Perhaps based on the VAM. Will the stuff Chris and I mentioned hold the price down on it?&nbsp; Probably..&nbsp; It is in the Top 100 list of VAMS, but far from being hard to locate.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you decide to have it graded it will most probably come back as a detail coin, I don&#039;t see it as a MS coin.&nbsp; AU detail perhaps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
