Pleased to let you all know I bought it!! Made an offer of $415, which is IMO a great price for any problem-free Antietam, and they took it!
My first late-'30s, truly difficult circ commem, and it's an Antietam to boot! Can't wait to get it and post new pics!

Congratulations! This is a difficult to obtain circulated classic silver commemorative. I paid $600 for mine in 2013, so I say you did well on the price.  Looking forward to your photos once you have the coin in hand. |

Congrats!
As ijn1944 noted above, the greenish hue of the coin could point to PVC issues. I would suggest a close inspection when you receive it and consider ijn1944's suggestion of an acetone soak if you believe PVC is at play.

She's here!!!! The green tint is a bit less noticable in hand. One thing I wonder about is that the obverse looks less circulated than the reverse. But overall I think I am keeping it!   |

Definitely a more natural appearing and attractive coin in hand - Congrats!
I'm still inclined to suggest an acetone bath before storing the coin long-term.
