<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 4433914, member: 13430"]Of all the US coinage, that design is my favorite. As others mentioned, don't allow greasy fingers on it, and do not clean or even rub it with a cloth. Collectors hate fingerprints and the telltale signs of cleaning. Based on the lighting (from the right), that looks like a scratch on the T. There are also a few nicks here and there as well. If you take it to a coin store for an opinion, be wary of getting low ball offers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
