Fake at first appearance!
The MM should be more of a triangular diamond shape, plus what other has mentioned.

As stated if genuine it would be cleaned and damaged. There are certain coins I would also never buy raw. 1916 d merc, 1893 s morgan, 1894 morgan, to name a few cause there are a lot of fakes and altered coins out there. Be cautious.

Details mushy, off-color, MM wrong, rim to fields wrong, good hole filler for a buck...  |

The MM doesn't look right to me as stated above . Good idea to stand clear .  |

Is this post a joke? It cannot be serious because the coin's reverse is laughable.

Well OP stated he's going to buy this "coin" in 3 hours - he has 20 minutes left - hope he read all these replies and cancelled his journey. Be nice to hear from him that he cancelled.

I have a hard time believing you were even contemplating spending the $3000-5000 this coin would have demanded if real, on a raw version of one of the most counterfeited issues in history. And if the seller didn't want that much money, it'd be an even bigger red flag.

I hope this serves as a good learning lesson. Never buy key date coins raw.

Glad to hear you read and ran. The bad part is all the folks who read something like this on Craig's list and thought they were stealing that monster for $700.

Some coins require TOP III Certification...this is one of them. I am glad that you passed on this.
