<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Charles REid, post: 2896135, member: 85334&quot;]The coin has original surfaces, and perhaps that was the gamble I took in 1997.&nbsp; On Ebay at 2 AM, my MAC desk top as my sole guide, I saw one of the first of this date that did not look altered surface.&nbsp; Later a visit To my local Cincinnati area monthly coin show confirmed my feelings. Two of my more trusted dealers looked and offered me what would have been a nice instant profit. Both thought the trade off of damaged rims was worth it, as it is hard to find the coin in XF 45 or above. There is no scratch, perhaps the lighting I used created the image. I tilted to be sure the rim damage was apparent. I paid $275, was offered $500.&nbsp; Beefer has grade and damaged rims for two points.[ATTACH=full]696645[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
