This would be a perfect upgrade for my 62CAC but I just can't get past the black eye and black streak near the ear. Still a nice coin no doubt and obviously an ex-Fairmont coin. It has the "Fairmont look". Currently for sale at DLRC.

Then don’t do it. My very first CBH has a nose bug. And I let the CAC sticker, grade and age of the coin talk me into it.
Now I just wanna crack it out and scrub that little sucker off of there.
The cheek lacerations especially the black one would bother me way more than the black eye.

If it bothers you now, it will bother you later and possibly the next buyer you sell it too
Yeah, I'm not buying it. There's a 64CAC at GC right now with black streaks on the eagles head. Also a Fairmont coin.
Based on the images I would pass but some coins are not photogenic and some coin photographers have bad days.
@Coinscratch That is a beauuuutiful 58!
