  • Terrible???, That coin has some blazing originality! Problem free low grade circulated coins have alot of character and that one is very cool looking.

  • I agree with Poorguy! Very original and beautiful in my opinion. Very nice low grade, full of history and problem free.
    I'd bet more people would fall in love with that coin before they'd call it "terrible"

    I realize the coin is attractive. My use of the term "terrible" simply refers to its being on a planet different than planet mint state.

    very nice.... you can even take crayons and color in between the lines. image


    Seriously a perfect coin for an expensive tough date
  • I found one looking alot like that in a batch I bought from an estate a couple of years ago. Mine might not have been quite that good.

    Still, it brought me $175.00 at a coin show shortly threreafter.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

  • Sorry but that coin is so far from original that it's not even funny. It lost it's originality about three cleanings ago. Dirty grey is what they should look like, here's a G-4 93-S that is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

    It simply appears to me that the image is lighter than the coin actually is. Now if it is actually that light and has some shine to it, I'd definitely pass. This one seems to me that it is just the lightness of the photograph.

    I don't think there is much doubt the coin has been through a cleaning.

  • I agree it has been washed a few times, hurting the chance for that big price bump that goes with a FR-02 upgrade! image
