<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3462143, member: 59737"]I haven’t brushed you off, just given you “what I think”. I did say it would sound harsh, because I knew it would. If you want more details, here are some photos. I see hairlines, which tell me it’s been cleaned. So does the fact that there are darker areas in the recessed areas of the coin, it it’s lighter and cleaner on the raised and flat surfaces. The rims have a lot of hits, which looks like it was a jewelry piece, but could also simply be from being mishandled. Either way, I would think the rims would prevent a straight grade. But so would the rust? or whatever discoloration is there. There are lots of divots and scratches. Let’s also not forget the gunk that has not been cleaned off on the edges of the coin. I see this as a details coin and would have passed. I am sorry for offending you, but subtlety isn’t my strong suit and this coin is a problem coin. My advice entails learning coins instead of spending money just because you have it. My monthly coin budget is $50. I have to save several months for something really nice. I would not waste money on a details coin just to buy one. Save your money, bide your time, and get something you’ll be proud of 5 years from now. I can count on one hand the number of coins I’ve bought 5 years ago (with a HUGE coin budget) that I’m still proud of. Most of the others are problem coins I’ll never recoup my money from. I’m just trying to save you from that route. If you have more questions, please ask. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]920748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920750[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920751[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920754[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920755[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920756[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920757[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]920758[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
