edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 10:36 am Will post better photos when it arrives, but with the little research I did from the blurry photos, it looks authentic at first glance. A decent risk I thought for $39 shipped. Seller has good feedback and a return policy. Thoughts? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1872-Calif...p=true&rt=nc Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3168 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 11:51 am bought a decent draped bust cent from this seller. Can't tell much from pics but I like your chances! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34465 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 12:11 pm @EW, was it maybe mounted at one point? At 12 o'clock on the obv there seems to be some weird edge scalloping and staining. As you say, the pics are pretty blurry. I'll be interested to see what it looks like when you have your own pics posted here.

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 12:20 pm I think you are right about the mount on top. Might have been a necklace. Maybe I can cancel. edit: Spence, thanks for noticing that. Seller was very nice to quickly cancel the order. I thought there was something odd with the blurry photos, when most of the other listings had clear. Edited by edweather 01/07/2018 12:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 1:50 pm It's either solder remnants or pealing gold plate. I'm sorry, but I just don't care what the price of stuff like this is. If you offered it to me for $1 and free shipping, I would still have nothing to do with this. I don't need to accumulate. Report this Post to the Staff
