tpmjr2004 Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/25/2013 12:04 pm I just wanted to see if any of you see anything wrong with this coin. I am thinking about purchasing it, but would like your opinion before I pull the trigger. These are the only pics I have of the coin, and they aren't the greatest. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I can't even tell if it's uncirculated. There are wonderful examples of this date/ mm. Unless you have a deal that is maybe XF money or less I'd pass. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Look at the nooks and crannies inside the lettering, so see the stuff they missed. I guarantee what you're not seeing in the pictures is some extreme hairlining from the cleaning, and I wouldn't do much above melt for this one. The other alternative is what's left in the tight areas was just toning, and someone left this thing in E-zest for half an hour. That would explain the lifeless look of the coin. Either way, all I have for the person responsible for this is Report this Post to the Staff
