It looks real, and high grade, and possibly proof? Any thoughts on authenticity, grade and color? Thanks. Ed

Hi Ed, If real, it looks MS-64RD to me, got a slight fingerprint on the reverse but other than that, nice coin.

Looks to be an MS-60 bold N. If you look at the tips of the feathers there is not a lot of definition. Because of the reverse I have to say R&B. I'd say $900 maybe.

Personally, I would shy away, just because of the amount of money that you would be spending for a raw coin.

new seller with 45 feedbacks, only high grade raw coins - red flag in my book.

I'm not too worried about the authenticity. I'd get a guarantee first, plus I can vouch that another of the high grade coins the seller sold is authentic.

I don't like the pictures/lighting. It could be dipped or polished. I stay away from raw coins like this.

I agree the color looks a bit odd. I agree it's risky, and I wouldn't even think about it unless seller guarantees problem free.

I am not sure how accurate the color is in the pictures but it looks a little off.

Maybe it's the photos, but I think the color is off too.

I'm with CoinCollector2000 also. Because of the price and odd color, I would want it slabbed.

I messaged seller and they will only guarantee authenticity, not problem free.
