GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 10/02/2007 11:42 pm The coin looks fine...however...he IS doing some photo adjustment to make it look a lot better then it is. Looks like he is using the same background for all his pics. Check out the differences in his tweaking. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 12:37 am I have been watching this one to see where it goes. Here is my 2 Cents Worth AU50 Cleaned would be body bagged by all but ANACS His start price reflects this by being the approx retail on an AU55 which leads me to believe he knows the coin is not MS. its a nice coin if you don't mind one thats been cleaned and cleaning is very common on 2 Cent coins. it will re-tone to a chocolate brown eventually I however would not expect to pay more than about $85 for it.

Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 10/04/2007 5:10 pm I agree with the others, the coin is not MS63. I see some where on it and there's a huge scratch on the front shield. Also, the seller is not photographing the coin in a way that shows how it would naturally look, instead he's "super modeling up" the pictures. While it looks nice, that's not a proper way to sell a coin to someone since it hides flaws and makes the coin look better than it actually is. Report this Post to the Staff
