And really, really sad at the same time?

    I think that the "putttied" comment might be a little harsh, but I do think that the way the photo was shot might be hiding some surface marks. This one is is graded is AU-55, and it looks nicer than this in person.


    I think that Robert Scot's early gold designs were very attractive, especially in AU and higher.

    I didn't know they existed outside of plastic. :p

    This one was not in plastic when I bought it many years ago. Later I had it put in plastic.

    Looks as if there was some 'gunk' deposited around the 'erty',and removed... there is still some residue there.....did you try the black light? Check the reverse as well...Oh...not your coin -sorry. We should watch for it to show up in a slab -or else the owner may be back and say "Oh, I reconsidered your offer.".... If that happens, run. Cheers, RickO

    Maybe it's just the photo but the coin in the op just doesn't have that pizzazz. Jmho.

    Edit: Just zoomed in..........yikes.
