grancap74 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 10:44 pm I love these coins and am working on putting together as many as we can. That said, what is up with this? I have no where near the experience that others have here, is this the real thing? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Very-Nice-1...ht_500wt_942 Report this Post to the Staff

grancap74 Valued Member United States 289 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 11:04 pm Moe, Thanks. I was absolutely not going to bid on this one. If it is authentic, it's just so sad for what happened to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 01:28 am I bought a nice seated half-dime from this seller. My coin was in XF condition and was not cleaned. I corresponded with the seller a bit too and he seemed like a nice guy. Obviously that doesn't guarantee anything about this particular coin, but my experience with him was a good one. Actually, I just read the description and he was honest about the coin. He said it "obviously has been dipped" and that it was wiped/cleaned.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 2:14 pm I agree the coin appears real, but polished and the pictures are dark which will hide any marks. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 9:55 pm That thing sets all kinds of alarms off...what is up with area around the rims on the obverse? Is it just heavily polishing that makes the surfaces look so wrong? Edited by DVCollector 11/03/2011 9:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
