I think this guy went a little nuts with his "hue" setting:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151401245469?ru=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html%3F_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=151401245469&_rdc=1

Apparently he must feel it will draw the viewers attention away from the graffiti and the repairs. Hurts my eyes looking at all that blue.

This is an original "blued" coin. Bluing came out of gun manufacturing as a means to keep them from rusting and this specimen has a lovely "blued" tone that will ensure environmental damage will never afflict this coin. Don't clean it or try to re-preserve the coin with modern bluing as you will damage the monstrous value that this coin has acquired over the years. This is a beautiful piece of preserved history that could only be exceeded if it were pickled in a jar of pork hocks for a couple hundred years.

Bet it was hard to get a good picture of it, showing all its details

btw, are we allowed to use NGC's own pictures in ebay auctions if we refer to them?

Thanks for the link epikur. I like how NGC provides photos with its cert lookup. It's really helpful. As for the seller...well...I think I've seen it all with coins on ebay.
