It doesn't look Gem to me with the marks on the coin. The seller also has other similar Indian cents. XF details at best?

Looks whizzed to me

The really unfortunate thing is there are uninformed/uneducated people that buy this stuff!

This used to be a good seller, but recently they have been offering all these awful Indians and Lincolns that look just like this, advertising them a "Gem Red BU".

Unfortunately, lots of people are buying them.

Zero luster on this coin, it has suffered a terrible and undeserved fate.
