<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 26771867, member: 86815&quot;]Here is a details coin that caused me some consternation. When I bought it I was attracted by the toning and decent grade. I put together a 1821 year set and decided in a uncharacteristic moment it would be fun to grade the set. Big mistake. </p><p>This was the worst one. You have to look some for the scratch because it was made in antiquity possibly 200 years age and it has been toned over so not highly visible unless you really look for it.</p><p>The last image is what it looks like in the hand before being highly magnfied.</p><p>I still like the coin and find it attractive but learnt a lesson as nothing will ever go to a grader again before a microscopic evaluation. The reality is that the details grade will put a high percentage of buyers off buying it when inevitably it is sold online and the grade has dropped the value by around $500.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1709213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1709214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1709215[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
