Very nicely reflective surfaces on this coin. Judging from the two lowest pictures, I think the seller is hallucinating when he states the coin could make 65, but that's not why I'm posting this thread.

In the pictures where the coin is tilted to show the reflectivity, have a look at the reeding. See all the crud between the reeds? How do you suppose a coin could have such pristine, reflective surfaces when the reeds are filled with dark stuff?

This may well be a DMPL coin. However, I would bet the farm that the surfaces are not original. I hope the buyer doesn't end up posting it here, because he won't like what I'll have to tell him.

You could be right. Or it could be the lighting. I see the same effect in the dentils.
