I noted immediately that it had a crease, which is most visible on the obverse at just above 3 o’clock. PCGS apparently ignored it because they gave the coin a straight AU-50 grade. The coin is of great historical interest to me because Henry IV introduced the denomination as part of his monetary reforms or perhaps &quot;adjustments&quot; would be a better term.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are very thin, and they are made of gold. It would be very easy to bend them. I am going to find out how fragile they are, perhaps tomorrow. I expect to receive a James I Half Laurel shortly. No, I’ not going to try to bend it, but I will get to see one of these type of coins raw without a slab around it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So how much does the crease hurt coin? You might as well be brutally honest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
