Pictures = D-

Hard to tell from the pics. Reverse looks like it has nice detail. Obverse, just too dark of picture to make a guess.

This might be a very nice coin. Maybe ask for pictures with better lighting?

I agree, looks like a good deal potentially. This is a very common date so I don't think it's a fake. Possible it may have had a cleaning in the past. Better pics needed.

I wouldn't pay $35 for it from those pics. Find one with better images and/or cheaper.

Sometimes auctions with the worst pics end up being the best deals. As this thread suggests, few people want to take a risk when there are crumby photos...

Legit? 99.99% likely.

Worth $35? Nope. Commonest date, usually separated from the rest of the series when quoting prices.

You should be able to get a nice 19th century Morgan for $35 delivered.

I dont think the seller knows how to/can take good pictures. Seller's sold only one other coin, by the looks of seller's history...and that other sale's photo is even worse.

Melt on that today is less that $30. MS60 is barely $30.

It's roughly AU. I see no reason to believe it's fake, but neither do I see reason to believe it's worth more than melt.

I concur with the observations given, yet the pic is fuzzy, and the coin may be a high grade.

I don't see where the seller states that the coin pictured is the one that will ship. As this coin and others he has listed are ultra-common, perhaps he'll simply take coins from a roll as he reruns his listing? Just a thought as his listing strikes me as a "canned" presentation.

I agree, not bad at $30. Hope you're the one who snagged it.
