It would be fun to do pics on a whole series of holed coins.

Even wear with a small distraction within the upper left portion of the coin. A cinch MS65 but brown.

Nice picture.

You should write auction catalogues.

Never heard a description like that ? I see them constantly on Ebay for Merc Dimes....

Problem is that the sellers are serious. I wasn't except for the nice picture.....

Actually thats a pretty neat looking coin.

Nice, but the rim bumps on the reverse concern me. Not sure it will holder.

Send it to CCCS! (The "Coin World Slab" grading company) as I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago, bulletholes don't bother them!

CCCS VF-30.

MS-67.

As in "Massively Shot."

Coin would have save the guy's life had it not been a high-velocity armor-piercing round.

I am guessing the grade is LM-70. (LordMarcovan would like it.)
