    Q: wheres the repair on this coin Feb-13-10
    A: I am not sure. ANACS has labeled this item repaired-whizzed so my best guess is that perhaps there may have been scratches in the field that were buffed out. When I sent this coin to ANACS I felt the piece was lightly cleaned. Never dreamed they would call it whizzed. Whoever did the repair did a great job. This is a great coin for the money.

    "That'll buff out" applied to coins. Sigh.

    That guy has to be kidding. That coin is so polished you can probably see yourself 10 feet away. Some idiot ruined a great coin. image

    yeah lightly - I would not be interested in this coin if they dropped a zero off the end.

    I don't know who is worse, the miguided people who clean these coins or the misguided people who misrepresent what they are selling. The latter have no business selling coins anywhere.

    That coin is such an abomination I wouldnt have it in my collection if it were free. I just could not stand to look at thing.

    That Ebay seller should get a job writing "genuine and problem coin copy" for a major auction company.

    "yeah lightly - I would not be interested in this coin if they dropped a zero off the end. "


    Comments like this make no sense to me. Being that the coin is an AU50, it would be a great pocket piece for 20-25 years, and by then may wear down to an "honest" VF25 or so with no signs left of the trauma its been through already. I would take that coin for $270 in a NY minute!

    Thats true. I think that if he were to auction it without a reserve it would sell for around $1000. But, its just so incredibly ugly and painful to look at that many people wouldnt want it period.

    That is very sad. Probably some profiteer in the past trying to make a quick buck. image

    Ironic that he wrecked the coins value instead of enhancing it.

    I handled a coin just like that about four years ago. Very sad!
