[QUOTE="Darkhorse, post: 871232, member: 3454"]I was all jazzed for a coin I had won on eBay. It had the kind of circulated look I was going for and I got it for a decent price (from what I could ascertain from the photo). While the coin does have some decent eye appeal, it does so under more diffused light. [IMG]http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/coins/arrowsnrays.jpg[/IMG] The reverse I love, and I have it reverse-up in the album. But I think the coins was cleaned at one point. Even from the pic above you can spot some hairlines in the obverse, but under more direct light you can see the telltale hairlines. The multidirectional ones. It's not too harsh, but I think it would be just enough to get the coin genuine'd. But is there an acceptable amount of hairlines at this grade? I suppose you'd need to see more photos. Nevertheless, I still kind of like the coin. Seeing that it may be a problem coin was disappointing though. Yes, I've been told to beware of circulated coins on eBay. This one looked like it was worth the risk - luckily it was not a big financial loss.[/QUOTE]
