    I guess it would depend on what you think "paid up" means, I try to never pay all the money for any details coin. All the scratches are a big turnoff for me and far outweigh the positives. But there is a home for every coin and it could be a nice addition to a collection if bought at a price that is commensurate with the issues.

    I like the circ cam look, the scratches are not the first thing I notice hence the reason I got it for the circ look.

    I like the Lucky Penny but I’m not a fan of the Bust with the scratches. I hope you’re not going to find out the hard way that selling problem coins that you “paid up” for will be challenging.

    I did not totally get a beatin

    The scratches are going to be the kiss of death when it comes time to sell. It is just a well circulated common date and isn't going to attract much interest from serious bust half collectors. I hope you didn't overpay.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I imagine that in hand the scratches are not terribly distracting. Otherwise it has a nice look and is a coin you can handle and pass around without worry. Enjoy!

    I particularly like that lucky cent. Very cool😎

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    If you like it that’s all that matters. If we all had the same tastes life would be very boring.

    And costly.

    Agreed. Here's an 1840-O WB13 (R5) PCGS VF-details "scratch". Normally, I avoid details coins, but the three fine scratches didn't bother me enough to pass on an otherwise decent looking R5 die variety.

    3 rim nicks away from Good
