<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 7981449, member: 42773&quot;]Here&#039;s an RR bronze with a perfectly nice obverse, but some cretin decided to &quot;improve&quot; the reverse by tooling in the lines of the ship. It&#039;s not even good tooling - it looks like the blockhead just pulled out his Swiss Army Knife and scratched a bunch of lines into it...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385068[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to the &quot;improvement&quot; the coin would have been a very respectable example of the type - no damage or encrustation, just honest circulation wear. I would have gladly paid at least fifty bucks for it. As it is, I fished it out of Harlan Berk&#039;s junk bin at the Baltimore Expo some years back for $15. The nice bust(s) of Janus deserved some love imo.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I ever catch the dunce that defaced this sacred piece of history for the sake of adding a few bucks to its market value, so help me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385077[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
