    Judging by your avatar, I'm guessing you're well versed in thoroughbred horse racing and, by association, also an astute handicapper.
    In my 45+ years playing the ponies, I've embraced Mark Cramer's concept of the informed minority vs. the public consensus of 'experts'. An “informed minority” is a public handicapper of proven skills who picks a horse that no other public handicapper within the consensus has picked - that would be your one dentist vs. the two popular expert dentists.
    This idea can work when handicapping horse races, but in numismatics, the consensus of experts is usually the way to bet :smuggrin:
    For anyone interested in reading more about the informed minority vs. 'groupthink', please follow this link to Mark Cramer's article in American Turf Monthly:

    I fully agree with PMD. But it had to hit it very hard to leave that mark.

    I don't remember that. I'm 49.
    But I looked for the information and it is interesting.

    Those marks are just damage.. As others have stated you both should send to the TPG to have them attributed. They will not attribute them.
    Why? Because they are DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged!

    The coin in the OP is showing post-mintage damage, no ifs, ands, or buts. Makes more sense to spend it than send it in for a grading opinion, which will only result in additional sunk costs.

    What he said was:

    "If you chew gum & accidently swallow it, it will stick to the inside of your intestines & create a blockage. You'll think it's only the watermelon growing, from the seed you swallowed last summer, but it will be much more serious than that, & require surgery. So don't chew gum,...or eat watermelon for that matter!"

    It's true, you can look it up!

    The reason we flipped the switch and said just to send it in was post #23 as shown above.
    Sometimes learning by one's wallet is the only way to learn.

    Why do I have hair growing on my palm...

    According to Google...
    A rare condition called circumscribed hairy dysembryoplasia of palms can cause hair to grow on both of your palms. The condition is an inherited condition caused by a dominant gene. However, it's so rare that it's only been documented a handful of times in the medical literature.
