Spot on Peace Dollar 1 1

[LDH Coins & Memorabilia]

Hello all, I have read previous threads about spots or marks on coins but I would appreciate if I could get some opinions on the attached coin. It's on ebay for 1500 which is more than I want to pay but I more concerned about spot. Thanx for any feedback  

PS: Sorry I wasn't able to post picture but eBay item number:404004056112 -- Sorry for inconvenience

That spot would deter me from paying that much.

I would hold out for a better looking example, that spot is very distracting and I don't think the price is all that great either. Maybe consider dropping to AU55, plenty of good looking coins in that grade going for half the price.

Thanx and I totally agree  I have been searching for that coin to complete set but prices haven't cooperated  Thanx again !

They are right... buy a problem and  you own it.  this isnt a beauty mark .... it is an ugly spot.  you can find better.

You can buy better for less. Keep looking. Spots belong on dalmatians, polka dot dresses, lady bugs.

Thanks to everyone for calming my impulse down to buy something I would regret before ever seeing coin LOL. When I get close to completion of a set I lose focus LOL   I have completed and upgraded other set but this set has taken the longest. God Bless all and Happy Thanksgiving

I deliberately picked a 50s style, so it wold be both obvious and not so "skanky."

I’m here for that 24/7, buddy. NEVER be in a hurry to buy anything EVER.

Thank You VKurtB, about a year or so you told me in a thread " that I had more money than sense (cents)" and that has stuck with me - especially when I get that itch for a particular coin, grade, mint mark - I'm learning patience and saving my sense.

Always be wary of a seller in a hurry. Often, you’re being buffaloed.

When I first started collecting I rushed and bought some problem coins I now regret. I since learned to have patience. Theres always a better one out there with a better price.

I would have picked, "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot..." (1960) but your choice is more becoming...

"Very perspicacious of you," as Prof. Fowler put it in that old TZ episode, Changing of the Guard.   Two things here: 1- I would not be inclined to complete any set I have diligently devoted myself to with, essentially, a hole-filler for all the reasons cited above.  2-  And this is where I part ways with the numismatic community.  I would decline to encapsulate any coin that could be conserved using the least intrusive but effective option available.  [I would also elect to assume any real cost involved if the submitter were a YN.]
