Seller is well known within certain circles as a "buyer beware" with a potential upside if you're willing to gamble some money.
From the listing:
"12. Cleaning: Except for those coins in sealed U.S. Mint and Proof Sets, we assume most coins have been cleaned to some degree in their lifetime and we have no proven way that any coin has never been cleaned. Under our assumption, we will gladly give you our opinion if a coin has been cleaned upon your request."
At least they have a No Questions Asked return and refund policy.
To the coin: Looks LDS, chatter as noted above, reverse has major polishing (look at the ONE CENT), cool die chip ? above the I in UNITED. Rims are chewed up pretty good, lots of marks. Color - not my area, someone else can opine on that.
Something about the coin looks off, as though it's something trying to pass itself off as something else. I can't put my finger on it.
