    I think I could overlook that scratch. Put it face up on a board.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Aw man!
    Nice looking coin too....until the scratch image

    Someone needs to learn how to flatten staples or buy a flat stapler!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Pissa, nice coin in any case.

    Gotta give the seller credit, he certainly was honest.

    To find a specimen from that date and mint struck like that is SUPER-RARE, in my opinion.

    I could live with the scratch.........

    For sure!

    i could live with that scratch.
    specially if it only cost a tiny fraction of the price.

    I could definitely live with the scratch. The head on that thing is incredible.

    I think this coin will hammer out at over $1000

    I have to wonder how one can tell it's a fresh new scratch on a coin such as this?
    It's been there and anyone that has looked at the coin would have seen it.

    ldhair,

    why doubt the seller? prob'd cracked it out to prepare a new shipment
    and it got scratched..

    otherwise, my main thought is why it was not slabbed and left alone long ago.
    nice coin.
  • gilgil Posts: 988
    would pcgs even slab it with the scratch even though it is a rare coin ?. Or would it come back bb

    I don't guess I really doubt the sellers words.
    It's a bit tough to say if he is talking past or present.

    Coins such as this seem to stay in 2x2s and get passed along forever and ever.
    Just my opinion. image

    That ani't no light staple scratch--look at the depth at the rim, Still, a nice coin for an album.

    One really good reason why I always recommend against staple holders, and will not accept staple holders in my attribution service. If coins come with staples, I return them without looking at them.

    I know where you're coming from, Chuck.........and I agree. When ya ship a coin, it should be in a flip.

    But for those of you who have the stapled holders, especially if they come that way when you buy a coin, Here's the way I like to do it:

    Purchase a cheap fingernail clipper that has the nail file on it. Usually those files are small enough for you to carefully poke a hole in the mylar, then travel 1/4 of the way around the rim of the coin with it, keeping the pressure facing away from the coin, so as not to rub it.

    Then, take your finger (thumb), as you fold the holder, push on the coin, and it should pop out.

    Just my advice............works for me.

    Avoid metal of any kind, push in the edge of the mylar with your fingernail or use a toothpick!

    Who puts a $5000 plus dollar coin in a stapled 2x2? Geeze. At least spring for a whitman plastic holder.

    And it's very likely that many coins stashed away 20, 30 and possibly 40 years ago will continue to surface for a long time to come, in 2x2's! image
