HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 03/23/2026 4:49 pm Quote: For the record Did they use the wrong photo for the reverse, or was it toned heavily while in the holder? The reverse has blazing blue toning around the rim, plus much more toning. The obverse photo looks correct. The blue is more pronounced in light vs neutral. Report this Post to the Staff

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 03/24/2026 05:02 am This is the best photo that I could find of a full holder shot for comparison. My holder photo is slightly tilted, with the right side being closer. The NGC photo looks totally straight and flat. Considering that, the coin's setting looks really close, with a slight rightward tilt on both, and the holder sticker used appears to be correct. The same blue around the rim on the reverse is also on the obverse. Same coin, reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 03/24/2026 6:51 pm HumblePie - looked closer at the horrible NGC pic - not the same coin. There is a rim ding you can make out on R at 8 - it is not on yours. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

I gave up trying to match hits due to the blur in the NGC photo and the toning on the other coin. The rim was a great place to look! Quote: The orientation of the coin is also slightly different also. Yes, there seems to be. I discounted it because my holder was slightly tilted, and there could always be some rotation if manhandled. We first thought they gassed the poor thing, so they could have manhandled her as well.
