Could you show us a larger close-up of the obverse with more light on the surfaces?

The 2 pictures I put up were taken by a friend who I gifted the coin to.

When I saw his pics I told myself no way that is the same coin. But if you look closely you can see the hit on the nose, cheek, eyebrow, and base of the neck and the die crack / polish line on the reverse through S OF. I asked him if he cleaned it and he did not. He said it was in the lighting and a little Photoshop balancing.

I guess this is what GSC does with their auction pics according to everyone here that has purchased from them.

The coin appears to have been in a belt buckle as the obverse is dark and shows wear and the reverse is still MS and slightly toned.

The rim also shows 4 mounting points where it toned (if you want to call it that) around them.

The last photo of the reverse shows a lot of mint lustre but the obverse is still lifeless.

The obverse looks AU while the reverse looks MS. Could this have been in some kind of holder where the obverse was exposed while the reverse was protected? (Belt buckle for example)
