It looks almost to good. The eyes look funny to me. But then again, I've never seen one with so much detail visable around the brow.

I wouldn't touch it with stolen money. Why is it not in a slab? Answer: Because in an AU Details slab, it's a $300 coin. In a righteous MS63 slab, it's a $2500 coin. You, the buyer, are supposed to take that risk.

 it should already be slabbed unless there are problems. The dealer is not a rookie and knows what he has. |

Note - I just sent a question to the seller :
"Isn't this the same coin that was in a previous sale, in a slab, with improperly cleaned details ? "
His reply was : "No"
- Hmmmmmmmm
Thanks again all !

When a coin like THAT is not in a reputable TPG holder, it becomes extremely questionable. Yup, avoid. swcoin.ecrater.com

There is no doubt in my mind it's the same coin.
