<p>[QUOTE="JBlade00, post: 1419586, member: 37468"]Thank you very much for your input. I agree that if I would have spent a bit less, I would take the gamble and send it in. As it is, I probably spent just about dead on what they are worth if they AREN'T problem coins... And I don't know if I am willing to take THAT gamble. I had the grand idea of taking some pictures through the loupe to see if you can see more detail, I think it helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]172811.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]172812.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>On the reverse, you can see the same scratches running PERFECTLY parallel to each other. You can also see them on the rim, etc... following the same path. They do similar things on the obverse Now that I think about it more, these seem like rubbing scratches. IE: They rubbed against other coins and their rims created these marks. That's the only real solution I can think of for this specific coin. I'm sure that's not going to help it get graded highly either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, I took some pics of another coin to show the other hairlines I am seeing on a few different coins. These coins actually DON'T cartwheel luster, and the hairlines are more randomly created which makes me think cleaning. Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]172813.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]172814.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
