<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 1919683, member: 24091"]Everybody is entitled to their opinion I suppose. It's an ugly coin even if the surfaces aren't covered with goo if you ask me. And it wouldn't be the first coin to make it in a holder with PVC damage either. Reverse of this 20 Lire (below) is covered in PVC, but at least it's a nice looking coin otherwise, which you sure couldn't say about the 5 Corona. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then even if said 5 Corona didn't have the "green mystery substance" look to it, the coin simply isn't worth nearly $400. There are bag marks all over the neck as well as the head behind and below the ear. The leg on the reverse has a hit that would keep a Walking Liberty Half out of anything above a MS63 holder, yet this coin finds its way into a 65 holder??? Be sure to click on the image to get a full screen view of the coin. It's in an MS63 holder btw.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]329671[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
