1853 Large Cent

Pictures are too poor to judge. Generally I want to see the hair above the ear, the lower 2 curls on the bust and the leaf between the C in cent and the U in united.

Just looks waaay too clean.

au-50......the hue almost makes it look like a proof

Thats the thing, the photos are normally terrible but the coins are incredible in hand. I'mjust very skeptical of this one because, like one of you mentioned, it looks like it practically glows in the dark.

I agree with Celticsoul.

Youre right, I will let him know.

Well, already knowing that the seller is a bit off with photographs, it's hard to determine if there is any cleaning or polishing, because from what I can tell at least, the color is still not represented accurately.

That being said, the detail on the coin appears to be about vf 20. There is a scuff on the rim of the obverse at 4 o'clock. Those original photos from the seller made the coin look a bit more detailed.

The obverse is a little sharper than the reverse.

Ordinary cell phone pics would show us what it looks like more accurately than these do. I always just check my cell photos to make sure they show the true color and likeness of the coin.

Scott.

that's more than a scuff on the rim. That's something that definitely wasn't portrayed in the original photo. Color is definitely off. Seeing the new photos I personally would have passed on this one.
