Merc Man Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 04/24/2012 2:12 pm http://www.ebay.com/itm/1922-S-PEAC...t_500wt_1049 I was looking at this auction on ebay as I try to educate myself on what to look for with coins and this just doesn't look right to me. What is up with this coin? Or am I seeing something that isn't there? Report this Post to the Staff

I can see how you start to pick up on these things as you look at more and more coins but I can also see how people that don't research first make mistakes. Report this Post to the Staff

It's original finish with some aging thrown in the mix. Best thing is to look at coins you know are original (slabbed coins) to learn the correct look of coins that are not messed with. Buffed coins are the opposite of crusty. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/25/2012 11:59 am Horrible photograph. Excessive shine. Lousy angle to take photo. Possibly buffed with auto polish or Walmart Jewlery cleaners. Over priced. Other than that, I see nothing wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
