Message:: [QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2296031, member: 73983"]The photo's I believe are showing the coin in the most brutal of light.  In hand, it's a stunner.  I picked it up at a local coin shop.  I actually looked at it on Friday on my way out of town.  They had an '83 and '84 as well.  I always look at any GSA's I come across.  The '83 and '84 were pretty typical 63-64's.  But when I looked at this '82 I almost lost control of my poker face.  They were all unmarked, so I asked the lady for a price.  She grab's a loupe and the grey sheet.  In the back of my mind, I'm thinking she's going to come at me with $700 - $800.  She then remarks "I don't think it would go MS-65, so how about $235.00?"  I was don't know what hit me harder, her inability to grade this or the staggeringly low price.  I told her, "I'll take it.  But I don't have the cash right now.  Can I put $30 down on it and hold it until Tuesday?"  She said no problem.  She put it in a brown paper bag and my name on it.  So the entire weekend, all I could think about was getting back and picking it up. Those roller lines are not roller lines.  They are planchet striations.  They should not effect the grade much if any. That mark on the cheek, left of her ear, is very shallow and in hand is not very distracting at all.[/QUOTE]
