<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4635030, member: 44316"][ATTACH=full]1146047[/ATTACH] </p><p>I bought this coin in 2000. It has a test cut, but the cut hardly detracts from the design. The cut is not through the middle of the owl obscuring an eye or some other important part. I think I paid 80%-90% of what, at that time, I would have had to pay for a similar piece without the cut. To me, the fact it is text cut has almost no importance. (The importance to me is personally zero but it becomes non-zero when I factor in what others think and will pay for it.) The question is how much of the type is damaged. In this case, it is hardly damaged at all so the discount was little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
