Counterfeit, Cleaned, Corroded or Collectable?

I'm thinking about BIN on this raw merc.
This would be for an album, not greatly worried about the grade, but I don't want to leave a 'problem' for my heirs.
Opinions on this dime?
Thanks!

You would be better off looking for a graded one so you know you are not buying a problem. (crack it out if you want)
The price difference between a graded or raw XF-45 isn't much.
Not a lot of selection on the bay right now... this one is in my price range... but I hear you...
Fair chance for a details grade on that one.
Be patient and keep looking there are plenty of nice examples on the market.
Looks fine to me. But agree that you should not buy a coin like that raw. The fact that you have to ask should tell you something.
VF20, with a scratch/gouge on the neck. I'll bet it's priced as a problem free coin in a higher grade.
1942/1, your call, maybe for cheap, your taking the risk
I would not buy that one....the gouge on the neck is just too much in a focal area, for me anyway. Cheers, RickO
