<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ranchhand, post: 55183, member: 2622&quot;]I just got a REALLY nice AU+ Alabama 2X2 commemorative for a STEAL at $160.00</p><p><br /></p><p>It SHOULD have been around $270... how did i get it so cheap? A little bit of rim damage ( it actually looks more like a minor planchet flaw, i will see about pictures )</p><p><br /></p><p>Do i mind? no. I paid for the coin knowing about the damage, and i paid accordingly ( heavy discount )</p><p><br /></p><p>I will of coarse make note of it in my records, and would never pass it off as flawless.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point? Its all a matter of your opinion. I was able to get an expensive, relatively rare coin for a deal because of what some would consider a &quot;problem&quot; and i think is OK.</p><p><br /></p><p>What i would do is make note of the small rim-damage in your album, maybe with a post-it note or something. that way when someone is looking at the coin they know about the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>The BIG issue is if you paid for a coin with no problems, then got one with rim damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>looking at the grey sheet the coin is valued at:</p><p>AU&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; $16.00</p><p>MS-60&nbsp; $42.00</p><p>MS-63&nbsp; $80.00</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally would pay around $35.00 for the coin if it was really nice and i needed it, but i would be mad if i paid $80.00 for it and it had &quot;issues&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>If you paid high dollar ( relative ) for the coin i would send it back. tell them about the rim-nick and ask them to send you one that was not damaged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
