    I don't like the scan because the background color really impacts my ability to make accurate determinations about the coin. Perhaps the seller would be willing to send you a different scan with a different background color? I dunno... maybe you don't have the same issue as I do.

    It sure is 'edge knocked' for an "UNC.". I'd pass. But hey, that's just me. image

    Edited: Yep, I'm with coinkat....that red colour is a 'blinder'.....anyway, I doubt it's really unc.

    'kat, that is exactly the issue I have with the scan. The background overwhelms the coin.

    I would tend to agree with MacCrimmon this one. He is right that the edge knocks look to be distracting and that should be considered because the coin will always have somewhat of a discount associated with it...

    Not bad. A better picture is needed.

    The rim dings are too distracting for it to be uncirculated.

    I also have a problem with the rim bumps, that was the first thing I noticed. I say nay!

    Oh heck, I agree with everyone.

    I've been studying an even dozen of these that my local shop has; looked at them all, been reading up. Nice ones in XF (without as many rim nicks) in their inventory are about $100 to $125-not sure about higher grades.

    The background overwhelms the coin.-Absolutely, and the image has been juiced and color enhanced to match the background.
