I am not able to speak to the authenticity, but it's really nice looking.

It looks legit. XF+
Can't tell if the surfaces are original. I'd be skeptical.

12 bids so far. It does look authentic but I'm a bit on the possibly cleaned side. AND there is free shipping.  |

It does look pretty good, the color isn't funky and spotty to be indicative of a cleaning. Usually with these old coppers, it's pretty easy to spot the cleaned examples. It is a crisp coin that would have a shot at an XF40-45. Can't tell what the Sheldon would be off the photos.

It appears to be a Cohen-13, Rarity 1. Plain r, without stems, 6 berries on left wreath. The most common Half Cent per Cohen. All in all a nice looking copper. |

Yep C-13 die state IV decent coin either not cleaned or lightly cleaned long ago. He says PL fields but he is dreaming. Probably and Xf and the surfaces look good meaning non-porous. I like the coin and would not mind owning it.

Rather nice, but my gut tells me that the buyer will find it to have been polished, in-hand.

I think it's a nice coin but was dressed up a bit and looks like a Great Southern Coins item with great photography and maybe touched up a bit. Here's mine for comparison - of lesser quality but I like it.   Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |

Looks like a very nice coin, and the pics look fine. Had I the money, I would be all in on this one.

The link is now gone. Based on the preview photo, I would have to say it appears real. I prefer to only buy locally, I hate now knowing what I am getting in the mail. I do not care how many reviews you have, lol!

Went for $134. Thought it might go for more than that. To me, it looks cleaned but could be the picture. The winner might of got a deal.

I agree that the winner probably got a good deal. As I said earlier the pics looked 'tweaked' but the coin is probably nice in hand.
