If that color is even remotely close to the actual coin, I'd send it back PDQ and cross that guy off for good.

Be interesting to see new pics when you get it. You must have gotten it for a bargain.

I did get it for a good price, less than $10 at an on line auction... and no, can't just send this back unfortunately, it's the risks I take for the lesser prices...and much better deals usually...  |

My inner optimist says it is a bad photo and will look better in hand.  |

Got this coin in hand today, must say the seller pix sucked! The coin indeed was "gold-toned" close to what is in this I took but even more so, has a slight reddish hue around the edges. Circled in RED are areas I had noted as more "flat" golden tone, and was wondering if this is a rub area or something else, which will be determined after an acetone soak  This second set of pix is after a 20 minute acetone soak...VERY satisfied. I suspect the "golden toning" was a partial gold wash, not a complete coverage, perhaps just one coating. No areas of the "toning" remain, it is actually a blast white, full mint luster coin. Those "rub" areas remain, but I doubt if it is a circulation rub...NO other indication of circulation anywhere. No dings, bag marks, rims clear and even, no marks on edge periphery. I wonder if these "rub" areas are related to flip storage, my best guess. I would grade this at least an MS-62 if not higher(not used to high grade Buffs!) I do see die issues, as a VLDS deterioration around rim by LIBERTY, but other than that, is a great example! Think I picked out on this one!  |

MS-64. Very sharp strike, you got a bargain but it sure was a gamble based on seller photos.

Thanks all for your comments! You all were quite generous in a high grade, guess I'm too conservative, especially when in hand, I see all the little flaws a pic doesn't...  |

That's the problem with grading from photos. Lighting and angle hide many ills.

In hand...may have changed my mind. But....I would not have soaked this coin.
