I agree 100% with you about the fact that blemishes can be hidden and/or covered in so many different ways. I now use scans, for they show everything. as always, you are doing your best to be as up front and honest on your auctions and just another reason that I keep an eye on yours. with this one: watching and bidding, for this is a bit more than a hole-filler but will look so much nicer than the one I now have in the 1897 slot.
imagine that... I am just a big bag of wind... that last comment seems to be # 3000 :) and it looks as though superspeedy75 already knows what this coin is worth.
