<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7427307, member: 110350&quot;]Thank you, and thanks for all the other nice comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not that I&#039;m losing sleep over it, because only one person brought it up, but do people agree that my coin looks like it was formerly mounted as a jewelry piece? More importantly, even if it were mounted sometime in the past, would that really matter so much in terms of its visual appeal or its grade or its value? Not that I ever plan to send it to be graded, never mind sell it! Personally, I don&#039;t see why the mere possibility of such a jewelry-mounting history should make such a big difference if it isn&#039;t obvious and doesn&#039;t detract from the coin&#039;s appearance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, do people agree that the fact that Dr. Busso Peus apparently bought the coin for about 720 Euros including the buyer&#039;s fee, and sold it to me 5 months later for a gross profit of only about 140 Euros, really constitutes evidence that the dealer knew something was wrong with the coin (whether a history of jewelry mounting or something else), and was eager to get rid of it right away? Why did the dealer buy it in the first place if that&#039;s the case? It&#039;s not like it didn&#039;t have access to all the same photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, a &quot;neutral&quot; opinion might be helpful. I wouldn&#039;t want to think I somehow bought a lemon, despite the coin&#039;s 60-year old provenance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
