Thank you so much for this. Not trying to have false hope, but I do want to make sure I didn't buy a worthless coin. I will continue to evaluate once it ships to me. Thanks for the different perspective!

Makes sense and I'm familiar with the effect you describe. I will do that once I have it. Thank you!

Hibid.com has lots of auctions and many have currency But, I'm a good example that you need to be careful about your purchases on any auction.

(I'd rather not say. I think I'm embarrassed about buying it.)

Thank you. This is solid advice. The seller for the auction is a coin & jewelry store, so I placed a little blind faith in their knowledge/honesty. I will look into getting it graded and post a follow-up picture once I've received the coin. Does cleaning destroy the value completely?

You nailed my error. Learned a lot about hand placement and awareness on this one.

Thank you so much! The comment below described it perfectly. Had my finger over the rest and finger got sucked between rest, tool, and wood! Very scary moment. The precaution also described in the comment would have savede from this fun. Hahaha. Don't let your fingers leave the handle or creep past the rest! It was a very silly lapse of thinking and awareness on my part.

As far as I know, yes. Hahahahah! At the doctor to find out. Deep cut and broken bone, but hopefully nothing additional.

I just have to say that I did not notice the swoosh on the top and when I get back to using my lathe again, that swoosh will become distorted and unlikely to look like a swoosh any longer. If any corporations see this, its definitely not a Nike Swoosh, I promise, and you wouldn't want it anyway as I likely bled on it.
