Nice looking coin too....until the scratch
Someone needs to learn how to flatten staples or buy a flat stapler!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Gotta give the seller credit, he certainly was honest.

I could live with the scratch.........
For sure!

specially if it only cost a tiny fraction of the price.
grand canyon sized gouge really messed up that piece of Modern Crap.
ouch.
hi, i'm tom.
i do not doctor coins like some who post in here.
It's been there and anyone that has looked at the coin would have seen it.
why doubt the seller? prob'd cracked it out to prepare a new shipment
and it got scratched..
otherwise, my main thought is why it was not slabbed and left alone long ago.
nice coin.

I don't guess I really doubt the sellers words.
It's a bit tough to say if he is talking past or present.
Coins such as this seem to stay in 2x2s and get passed along forever and ever.
Just my opinion.

But for those of you who have the stapled holders, especially if they come that way when you buy a coin, Here's the way I like to do it:
Purchase a cheap fingernail clipper that has the nail file on it. Usually those files are small enough for you to carefully poke a hole in the mylar, then travel 1/4 of the way around the rim of the coin with it, keeping the pressure facing away from the coin, so as not to rub it.
Then, take your finger (thumb), as you fold the holder, push on the coin, and it should pop out.
Just my advice............works for me.

Avoid metal of any kind, push in the edge of the mylar with your fingernail or use a toothpick!

Lots of people before 1986.

And it's very likely that many coins stashed away 20, 30 and possibly 40 years ago will continue to surface for a long time to come, in 2x2's!
