noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 9:07 pm I think its just the lighting because of the glare... Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 9:28 pm Not sure, but does look like it has hairlines from being wiped/cleaned at one time Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 11:57 pm The coin appears to be cleaned and recolored. It probably was once a nice AU. Report this Post to the Staff
skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 01:20 am Yeah, looks like a very nice coin but I am leaning toward it being at least recolored. Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 12:44 pm I don't like the color or the lack of luster. My money says this coin does not have original surfaces. Looks like a high grade coin that was dipped (and ruined) Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 12:50 pm Look in front of the profile of the face. There are parallel buff marks in front of the forehead, chin and neck. Coin was worked over a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 03/28/2013 2:13 pm Too bad about the apparent reworking on this one. That's one I need to fill a hole in my collection too. Report this Post to the Staff
