Certified PCGS Details for what they called "filed rims". "Filed rims" is a term usually used to denote a significant rim bump or a rough area, which is filed down flat. In this case there is NOTHING like that on this coin. There is a small, and I mean SMALL, "dent" at 7:00 on the Obverse rim, which shows no file marks and appears to be a soft contact mark. There are no detectable signs of filing, and the reeding is 100% intact. So I have no idea what PCGS is talking about. Otherwise this appears original and problem free, and I can guarantee that outside this holder 99% of anyone looking at this could not detect a problem. The average dealer certainly could not or would not even mention the possibility. Personally, I would just crack out the coin and put it into an album page - "buy the coin, not the holder". Certainly it represents a good value at the price shown versus the $450+ a PCGS example will commonly bring (or, $575 as a similar coin is currently listed for). Please note that due to value this will require shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
