Very bad purchase in my opinion . Pitted ,worn rough coin obverse fields are pathetic . VF Details .  |

Nearly but not quite XF detail, with below-average eye appeal due to the pitted surfaces. Not a fan, at least at $61.

Personally, I wouldn't give it a second look. But I admire NS's willingness to share his finds (and prices) with us.  |

 The photos look a bit pixelated. I can't get a good feel for luster, surface conditions in some of the fields, or potential for an old cleaning. The obverse field SE of the nose and lips is an area of concern. I can't tell if all of this is pitting and contact marks, but at least some of it is. I need to wait for the in-hand pics here. |

XF Details, ED. Surfaces do not look original to me either.

@numismatic student, I played with your pics a bit. I adjusted lighting, contrast, clarity, and ran the pics through a couple filters. I hope you don't mind. I'll be glad to take the pics down if you want me to. Here's what I came up with:   To me, both the surface damage SE of the portrait and the surface scratches detail the coin. Overall, it seems like a lower VF details coin. |

Feel for ya - Here are my 65 mistakes made putting a 73 coin book together in G-VG|| I'm getting proficient sniffing out those lovely originals. My mistakes are getting less costly but stick around I never disappoint the forum with a doozie lemon every now and then. Keep stickin and movin  on those barber's its an undervalued affordable series, I love even the ugly ones.  |
