Am I being "too honest"?

Hope I don't scare everyone away with this description, but I don't want it coming back to me.

    Seems like an honest, forthright description to me. I wonder how it was damaged??? What a shame.image

    Thanks. I also wonder... These were part of my grandfather's collection that was sold at a Stack's auction in the late 1980's, after he died. A few coins came back, this was one of them. Surely because of this damage... Would be a really nice coin otherwise...

    I agree with it being a very honest description. image

    Looks to me as the most honest listing I have ever seen on eBay.
    Still a Nice looking coin!

    well... maybe the coin looks different in real life but judging by the picture, this simply looks like a cud, and would not affect the value at all.

    Nice coin otherwise... for people (and there are many) that are collecting commemoratives as a hobby (like me) and not an investment, it will be a good buy. Cheers, RickO

    I believe that an accurate and honest description builds confidence in the seller and might actually enhance your chances of a better selling price.image

    Looks like a cud to me -- I'd end the listing and have it graded at ANACS -- that is an expensive coin. If it is really a cud, you will get a grade, if it is not, you will get a details graded "problem" holder. Either way, it will probably sell for more --- much more if it is a no problem coin.

    There is no such thing as too honest. You are either honest or deceptive. There are degrees of deception; only one degree of honesty.

    I think the description is prefectly fine... might want to change "observe" to "obverse" though

    Correct.

    And, straight-forward EBAY listings encourage buyers; discourage returns.

    Damn image Hate when I do that... Was listing a bunch of stuff tonight, and typing too fast I guess. It's got bids, so I can't change it now... Thanks...

    Very true. And it looks like an honest description to me.

    Honesty like that is something desparately needed on eBay!

    For you guys who knows these commemoratives - what would you grade this one if it didn't have the rim damage?
