<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2540982, member: 76086"]I like the comments so far. My concerns match others. Perhaps the soil is applied but that doesnt bother me. It can be cleaned off or left as is if in fact it really is applied and not natural. I do think the fields are lightly smoothed. That doesnt bother me so much either, really. But I had other concerns. I dont want to say too much as I have made public comments before which have gotten me into hot water (and in one instance temporarily banned from an auction house, that was entirely my fault and I did apologize). I really wanted that coin. I would suggest it would sell for $5,000+ depending on venue. Damn nice coin. It was a hard decision to pass it by. In my opinion it is the finest example of the type known to exist, but...I would have needed to examine it in person and gotten other professional opinions before bidding. An impossibility. It is possible that our concerns are completely unwarranted and we simply let a star slip through our hands to someone who got one of those amazing bargains that happen only a few times in a lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
