<p>[QUOTE="JBK, post: 18103, member: 1101"]As I see it, there are no bright shiny spots in this picture. That means the whole coin was likely cleaned and then retoned. It was very possibly a disaster to begin with. Maybe there was corrosion or damage to the reverse, or maybe to the fields on the obverse. Hopefully a cull coin was used. There are a lot of culls out there which would be great coins aside from the damage. Maybe this one even had a big hole in it, which was cut out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully in it’s previous state it was not collectible, in which case the cutting was an improvement and gives it some appeal for a different use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
