Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 114462, member: 112"]There's a small rim ding on the reverse at 10 o'clock, but other than that I can't see any problems based on the pics. Yeah there's a couple small hits in the fields, but I don't consider those problems. If the coin really looked as good in hand as it does in the pics - it would go 65 easy. But then you have to consider what has been said about buyng a slabbed example, if it were me - I wouldn't do it any other way. I don't buy into the idea that if a coin like that isn't slabbed there must be a problem with it. But there are many who do. I guess I've just seen to many great coins that weren't slabbed - they are still out there. But I think Leadfoot provided the best reason to not buy a coin like this, raw and based on pics. Look at Leadfoot's pics - those are all the same coin. It just goes to show you what you can do with pics. And - maybe it was done in this case.[/QUOTE]
