You made the right decision, BassPro. It would've been nice to have a little more warning for us, though. While you can buy beautiful-looking cleaned or, otherwise altered rare coins, you should know exactly what you're getting into and should be paying about 1/2 of the regular price.
I'm not entirely sure the obv of this half was wire-brushed because, if it had been, there still wouldn't be nicks showing on the neck and lower face and in the field. The smaller pics do seem to be the same or a very similar coin but it does seem suspicious to me, too. For this kind of money, better to get the coin in a PCGS slab.
