<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clutchy, post: 1896427, member: 45040&quot;]A friend on facebook sold me this coin. He has an incredible eye for coins and is well respected in the groups. I never see him trying to sell coins, so in a conversation I mentioned im looking for XF &amp; AU cents, not expecting him to sell anything. But he responded with some pics of this coin. No close ups, just your typical overall view of the slab, both sides, just enough to make out the toning. Im a stickler for distraction marks, especially on ONE CENT. Ive turned down gorgeous coins in the past because ONE CENT is just such a focal point for me. So I ask him &quot; Are there any distraction marks I should be aware of? &quot; He responded with &quot;Nothing that bothers me&quot;..... and from that moment on I knew I found my first keydate. I did not haggle the list price he asked, he included shipping and a money back guarantee if I didnt like the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I receive the coin, I had to laugh at my myself, because Im such a pain in the butt about distraction marks on ONE CENT, of course, OF COURSE there would be a scratch on the case, the only major scratch, right across ONE CENT !!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I love this coin, the toning is beautiful and it looks to be well taken care of. If I had to pick on something, it would be the fact that I was expecting the bowtie to be a little bit fuller, but otherwise I have nothing bad to say.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PLUS, he sent me a little gift. Im always busting chops saying &quot; You know, christmas is coming soon, and that coin would be a nice stocking stuffer. Just sayin...&quot; or stuff like that. So he sent me a note and a plastic box that sais &quot;Dont say I never gave you anything lol&quot;.. In the box was $1.40 fv of silver, including a walking liberty, washington quarter, barber quarter and the rest roosies. PLUS a V nickel, 6 dated buffalos and a bunch of 1938-1949 jeffersons. I was touched and surprised he sent that stuff. It really made my day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]323682[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
