turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 10:22 pm Hey everyone, can you please take a look at these images and tell me what your opinion is on the authenticity of this coin. I know that I will be able to tell more with the coin in hand. The seller does guarantee the coin, has a 100% positive feedback and has over 105,000 positive feedbacks left. What I think might be throwing me is the images have been converted to B&W so I don't see the typical "bronze" look that I am used to. BTW - If anyone wants to tell me the ruler on this one, I would appreciate it. Thank you once again for your time. Report this Post to the Staff

turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 10:40 pm Thank you! I am a bit of a "different" type of collector. I have never been the type to look to purchase the "best". I, in all honesty, pick up coins pretty much on looks alone. If I like looking at the coin and I can afford it, I will get it. I do get myself in trouble on occasion though. I have way overpaid for coins in the past as I picked them up before researching. Report this Post to the Staff

turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 12/22/2018 11:01 pm That I did not know. I am now even more excited to get this coin in hand to see what it actually looks like. Report this Post to the Staff
