The pics are of the same coin....

Ok...The first set of pictures is what the ebay seller posted on their listing.

The second set of pictures are the ones I took when I received the coin. I think my color maybe off (a little) but the second set of pictures are closer to the actual color of the coin than the sellers pictures.

I bought it for $5.95 shipped :/

If you need me to retake pics to show the color better I can.

Tough to grade, but it looks like around AU-58 or better. It is hard to tell if it is wear or a weak strike on the part above the ear, the middle of the left wheat stalk, and the top of the right wheat stalk looks like it has some wear.

Your pictures are brighter but very nice show and tell. Great pick-up. Slight wear on the right parallel lines. I'm learning on grading agree with Wquinn AU-58.

I checked out the sellers pic and didn't see any tampering with nicks, dents or scratches. It's a little "soft" but that can come from simple resize down.

Enhancing color or contrast is hard to detect. Perhaps it was lightened some but my guess is just lighting difference.

I'm not thinking foul play if that's what you are wondering.

It's anyone's guess if the seller took pictures to the best of his/her ability or took pictures intentionally modifying the light, particularly considering the nick at 2 pm on the reverse is not visible in the seller's pictures.

Did the seller allude to a grade? e.g., AU; because it's not AU.

I give it a VF; tops XF.
