Obviously a stripped and recolored EF coin, with hardly any diamond detail. This seller defines the sort of crook that feeds off our hobby. Look at the bids so far on this POC!

This woman (guessing from the name) seller "edelmancheryl" is one of the worst sellers of altered coins on ebay, as witnessed by this example. Please do everything you can to discredit this seller - a stain on our hobby.

The seller has a 100% rating also. I wonder how that could happen.

I'll tell you how it happens - the buyer has no idea how to really judge what he's buying. This seller specializes in selling to the uninformed collector looking for a bargain. This obviously stripped and recolored EF coin is just an example.

This one especially needs to be removed:

FBL? Who knows?
Uncirculated? Doubtful.

IHC are my favorite coins and this one seems to been whizzed. I have several nice coins that would look good with a polish job, but not for me. I would rather have it before it was touched than now.
We don't need this kind of seller

Yeah, the date is way off--completely wrong font. I don't see this as a retooled or cleaned coin, I see it as an out-and-out fake.
