Definitely a no. Over cleaned and polished and dipped. Surfaces are fried white. $71 is already more than I'd pay.

I'd suggest finding an EF with original or market acceptable surfaces.

There are zillions of them so a beauty won't be that hard to find.

Wait until you find one you really love.

with Mox. That date is not hard to find, so you should be able to find an example easily.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I stay away from raw coins from this seller. They often "enhance" the photos of their coins.

I would pass. The surfaces have a dead, lifeless appearance.

Please avoid GSC at all cost. They have a special department just for cleaning raw coins.
