All input are greatly appreciated. This coin was also offered and the picture/color look "funny", so I didn't bit on it. The final price was higher too.

fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 12/04/2007 10:33 pm The coin you won has definately been cleaned, probably VF30ish details (I can't tell too well from the pics). For the price, though, it's not too bad. Report this Post to the Staff

tonphil1960 Valued Member United States 382 Posts	Posted 12/05/2007 4:12 pm Beautiful coin, Love those Busties. I agree it is in the VF area. I am no expert though. Congrats... Tony Report this Post to the Staff
fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 12/05/2007 4:38 pm I would have also passed on the 1831. I think that his photos are overexposed on that one, but I don't see any obvious signs of cleaning on it. It's the two large scratches near the eagle's beak on that coin that make me want to pass on it. On your coin, there seem to be a few hairlines on the left obverse field, and the reverse just looks "off" to me. Take some pics when you get it, though, because it could just be the mylar playing tricks on me. Report this Post to the Staff
