Another late night random ebay purchase, for the cost of a large pizza. Might be fake, but I'm not sure anyone would bother, weight is correct.

These are nearly impossible to photograph.

Coin has nice steel gray surfaces in hand with dark toning.

I could see VF20 if there's no problems. It looks absolutely genuine.

Thanks for the quick responses so far. I'll take it as a consensus F-15 pending further replies. :)

Don't include me in that census - this coin is technically VF-25 or better, surface problems aside.

I like the way you think, Coinfrog, but what do you mean by "surface problems", the crud/dirt/grime/etc?

Normal circulation, no real problems, doesn't appear to have been cleaned or dipped. Honest VF 20.

Not bad if it hits VF! I paid $19. Free ship.

I'm at VF20 also. Reverse keeps it from going higher

Nothing screams fake, however, I know where you may have thought it was. Obverse looks strange.
