It looks to have been cleaned at some point and has some really ugly splotchy retoning going on, and the reverse has notable damage above ONE CENT.

I would bid no more than VF35 money for the coin. If it sells for the $36 it's at now, it's a deal. I would not go much higher than $50 max.

1853 is by far the most common year available. $71 is way way way too much money. I wouldn't have paid more than $30 for it.

Of course I'd never suggest that GSC uses shill bidders, but the bid history of bidder l***o looks suspicious

Sometimes I think GSC has a loyal following of dummies.
