Here is a coin that I bought some time ago, pretty hard to find in such nice condition and the coin finally came in today. It was originally described as "aUNC" and I was about to agree on that grade when I noticed just one horrible "staple hole" mark at the right side of the double headed eagle. Fortunately enough, it just barely missed the eagle's feathers or I would have been terribly upset.

What do you think of the grading? There is a bit of reflective surface on the front image, which is not shown in this scan well enough. I would have put around AU 58 or so because of that staple mark, but your opinions please. smile.gif

Also, what would you have paid the most for this coin? I am thinking of asking for a refund if I paid way too much... at least I didn't pay over 100USD... well close enough though... :/
