What are everyones thoughts on the coin I just purchased? Do you think the bllack spot is very distracting? What might that spot be?

I like the overall looks, but I do find the spot on the reverse a bit distracting. The price was very reasonable.

I like the pastel hues in the toning.

Man, that is one crappy picture:



I'll wager the coin looks a lot better in hand than that picture shows.

Looks like a nice coin. That spot is most likely where a rubber band touched it, I have one just like it with the same type mark. The sky blue makes up for it and I bet you like it in hand---BigE

It's a nice coin. The spot really only matters to you--if you find it distracting now my fear is that it will only bug you more in future. You got it for a good price and can always get your money out of it---

Getting the fatman "seal of approval" is a sure sign of a good pickup, IMO

Your Columbian, without that black spot, would likely bring $300 more money. My blue sheet is 9 months old, but it shows $340 sight unseen for such a PCGS MS65 1893 Columbian. If the spot doesn't bother you, no problem.
