shadowtrooper78 Pillar of the Community United States 1370 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 10:34 am I've been eyeing this coin for about 2 months and thinking about making an offer on it. What do you think it grades....in an old PCI holder...sellers pics Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 11:32 am I would pass in my opinion. The eye appeal just isn't there, and almost looks to be a copper counterfeit. EDIT: But don't take my word for it, I'm no expert on counterfeits. Edited by CoinCollector2000 10/09/2014 11:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 12:09 pm I think this one's been smoked. Look at the hairlines on the field behind the head and around the date. The color - including the locations of that color - bother me greatly. That's not a natural toning propagation. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 2:23 pm I would pass. It's VF details, cleaned w/ environmental damage. It does look genuine though. Report this Post to the Staff
ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 10/09/2014 5:38 pm I would wait for another one to come along. I agree with the above comments that it looks genuine and doesn't have great eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
