Missed something on a coin-does this ever happen to you?

I bought a really sweetly toned Daniel Boone commemorative today. It was raw, but I spent a few minutes going over it and just didn't see anything wrong with it, and in my opinion was really undergraded. So I get home and lo and behold, there is a mark that I did not see. Not a biggie as I still think it would grade at least a point higher, but darn it!

If the luster is all there...dont sweat the mark...

Hey John. The luster is really nice, and the color is as well. They had about 100 commemoratives and this stood out like a beacon. I just hate not seeing stuff, as I really thought this could have a chance at 66 or 67.

Yes. It has happened to me. I just tell myself that if I missed it the first time that it can't be very significant and its not a big deal. Sometimes I actually believe myself.

I agree with you. I missed a mark before purchase, and only noticed it when I took a digital image at home. The mark looked like the grand canyon when the coin is the size of your monitor. Then I went back to the coin to look for it and I found it eventually, but now that I know it's there it bugs me. Wish I didn't take the image
