This is in an auction near my house, ending tonight, and I am interested for the right price. It is in an ICG case, and shows on their website. I know it is a lousy picture, but, is it real, and what is your guess to grade?   |

Obvious wear on the high points.
AU50 + or - 5, because of the picture.

ICG is dependable enough that the coin should be authentic.
Cleaned? Fuzzy pictures makes that judgment a problem.
Same with grade, but I'd say AU or better.

AU but hard to tell surface quality from the photos.

I would trust ICG as far as authentic.
Their grade though I would consider a different story.
Hard to tell from the photos but Mid to High AU for me,
Based on photos, I have no idea as to any cleaning or not.

Looks good AU but I can't pin it down without better pictures.

I'm not risking better than XF Details money on those pics, which is to say $50-65. My gut tells me it's high XF at worst, making it about a $125 coin in NGC or PCGS (far less in ICG). They're not exactly uncommon.

Well, aside one ridiculous NGC MS66, I don't think there's an example of O-121 known higher than MS63. It's virtually impossible in Mint State. This is a $5000 coin if appropriately graded. Which I will bet it isn't.
You'll need to go north of $500 just if it's AU. I don't think this is one you want to be speculating with.

Agreed, too much risk. It will be fun to watch. I .think I found a MS63 sold on ebay for about $930 I am guessing this goes for $1200 |
