<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2282224, member: 19463&quot;]The way the cheek mark lines up with the small cross on the upper lip makes me believe it is a banker&#039;s mark but it makes no difference since a coin like that belongs in a collection that would see the perfect reverse with exceptional style and not mind the somewhat ordinary style obverse.&nbsp; I do hope the buyer was buying the reverse and not just too blind to see the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>We regularly have to address the question on whether a &#039;fault&#039; that was part of the coin as issued or as it was hoarded is as serious as a scrape from being dug by a shovel or porosity from cleaning too harshly.&nbsp; I certainly would prefer this to a coin with what dealers tend to call &#039;a touch or porosity&#039;. I&#039;m sure this rather common coin exists with a perfect obverse and I hope you find it.&nbsp; As for me, I&#039;d buy that reverse if the other side were filed flat (but I wouldn&#039;t pay much for it).</p><p><br /></p><p>RR coins certainly come with a variety of styles.&nbsp; This perfect reverse die is paired with an unremarkable obverse in terms of style.&nbsp; Guys like me can&#039;t be picky on such things but I would expect four digit coins to offer more than being unworn.&nbsp; Mine is from my gathering of Stannard scoopers.&nbsp; It has a very nice Cupid but the scoop kept it unloved.&nbsp; Buying whole coins that are perfect is hard.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456272[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
