<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prethen, post: 34417, member: 1756&quot;]This is a great question and one I&#039;m curious also.&nbsp; I recently bought a nice early copper cent with a rim ding and asked the dealer the same thing after I put it into my type album.&nbsp; He noted that it&#039;s very common for old copper to have these dings and if shows old toning all the better and should be no big deal.&nbsp; (By the way, my work connection prohibits me from seeing your coin so I don&#039;t know what it is.)&nbsp; Personally, if I notice it (esp. prior to buying it!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) I would probably knock the coin down at least one full grade in price.&nbsp; I returned a raw proof shield nickel that had a rim cut.&nbsp; There&#039;s a bunch of stuff to take into account.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I think the general answer is, it will knock it down a notch or two in grade/value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
