I'm seeing significant verdigris and a possible polishing. The detail looks XF easily. You'll need to study that one when it arrives. For what you paid pieces like this are readily available: http://coins.ha.com/itm/indian-cent...Lot=1x=0&y=0

I agree about the verdigris, but maybe just wiped with soft cloth not really polished. EF-45 .

I took a shot on it. I saw enough detail of a XF/AU coin to go for it. Seller originally wanted $140 but I haggled down to $110. Coin has a return policy so if it is not what I like I will simply return it. I am gonna get some VerdiCare on ebay sometime this weekend as a few of my nickels and pennies need it and some acetone as well. I will also post pics of it when I do get it probably next week.

I think it makes 45 with those diamonds. Bit concerned about what looks like verdigris traces on the reverse.

45 for grade, but uncertain about possible corrosion.

Coin is much nicer in hand I think solid au50 according to photograde with 4 diamonds...no corrosion except one very small verdigris spot, which verdicare will fix when I get it in the mail. Best pics I could get....iPad camera not great with pennies and lack of natural light today due to rain

Looks nice. There's no greenish color like the seller's photos suggested.

Yea. Must've been bad lighting or a weird angle. It's a nice chocolate brown color all around.
