[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5008606, member: 105098"]This coin will absolutely details grade so won't even be good for a low ball set which examples must straight grade to avoid intentional damage set inclusions. It is good for a hole filler but it's priced too high, you can get a better example for less than this that would straight grade. This is a prime example of when you buy a coin collection in those folders off someone, why you pop them out and check the reverse of the coins of value. So you don't find this surprise after you've forked over the cash. I can't say exactly how or why someone would do this from these pictures, but this isn't a weak strike or a strike through grease, this is intentional damage. coins don't naturally wear in circulation in this manner. Maybe at one point glued face down to a bar top or floor or something like that.. who knows really... maybe a kid used it for a couple years in a knock hockey game as a puck.... but it's clearly not "acceptable" except as a cheap hole filler for a folder at this point.[/QUOTE]
