Seriously?

Rare? It's a damaged piece of junk that some hack tried to repair and since you have before photos............

Rare mislabled slab.

GoldenEyeNumismatics

I offered him $2.49.

Someone please ask the seller to add a picture of himself to the listing. I bet they have a big L scar in their forehead.

Rodebaugh

He can keep it.

Let me know if you're successful; I'll take it off your hands for $5

Jinx86

Wow......"just 5 points away from having no wear. not many of those left.".....

Is he admitting to fixing it him self or having had someone work on it. I like it much more as a holed piece myself.

Filling in the hole- ok, I sorta get that, but why scrub it at the same time?

As far as ANACS. Plugged or mount removed... who cares? Damage is the same either way.

.
you think that is something

take a look at the paper currency auctions in the recent feedback, rotfl

btw is that h10c really authentic?

LochNESS

I don't know what pisses me off more... the fact that these idiots (the seller) can spout lies and get away with it (for the most part), or the fact that some of 'em get more bids/sales/traffic then my genuinely rare and top-pop listings.

It's an ex-jewelry coin. It was probably shined up and polished by the original owner.

As Lincoln Vanderblatt would say: "A $600 coin with $595 worth of damage."

MrHalfDime

"btw is that h10c really authentic?"

I have no doubt that the coin is authentic. In fact, it is actually quite well struck. It is an example of the so-called Large Date variety, making it either a V1, V2, or V3. Lacking any evidence of repunching of the date numerals, I would say it is either V2 or V3, most likely V3. A better picture of the reverse would let us know. It would have made a very nice addition to someone's collection had it not been holed and then cleaned. As Braddick pointed out, why make so much about the ANACS description; damage is damage, and whether or not they had inside knowledge about the seller's 'repair' vs. the coin having had a mount removed is immaterial.

This brings up a question I have had for some time. Just what is a coin that has been holed really worth? By how much should a coin's value be reduced due to the hole, or hole repair? I would venture to say that this coin is not worth $249.00 in anyone's book.

I wonder if the seller has a massive headache as well?

messydesk

So the seller is admitting to being a (bad) coin doctor and trying to pull a fast one on ANACS?

UNLVino

Hmmm... Maybe I can sell some of my ultra rare misgraded raw coins now

ScarsdaleCoin

I think we should all offer him $2.49 my offer going in now

robkool

Just probably worth melt...

HoledandCreative

Last week, it was bid up to $45 reserve not met.

that just proves how much of a moron he (or she?) is ... they must really believe it's a rare slab error

braddick

At that price it could be the buyer simply wanted the coin. Not too shabby really if you can get past the mess going on with that repair. I'd be tempted to pop out the repair and have the hole back again.
