Bought it in a lot on ebay. Always a skeptic when it comes to bright rainbow toning, plus I just don't like them.

Looks real. I'd imagine if they wanted to fake it, they'd do the whole coin. Maybe one full side, at least. Then again, that could be what they WANT you to think.

I agree, real. Very nice, but given fingerprint and obverse nicks, unlikely to grade better than 63.
Rest in Peace

Looks real to me, and also somewhat distracting. But I think it has some character with that look.

Bottom line, cool but not worth very much I think, maybe $15.

Toning looks natural, albeit not balanced on both sides. Fingerprint and dings make this an unattractive coin.
