Picked this up for $56. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!  Updated pics - not sure if they're any better.   Edited by numismatic student

MS details, cleaned. An original coin wouldn't have the light colored spots found on dipped or cleaned coins.

Agree, somebody removed something. The color is all wrong too.

When you click on photos to blow them up there's a lot of verdigris on this coin both sides . MS Details questionable color .  |

If that is from a seller in Ossining, NY, (which it appears to be based on the photos) return then stay away. All coins cleaned, dipped, etc. Also known to crack out problem coins and sell raw, "been in vault for 50 years" or was owned by B. Max Mehl type BS.

Despite this seller's reputation, the coin is a real beauty so definitely not returning this one. It looks full red to me. Any thoughts on the grade? Thanks! Updated for clearer reverse picture.   Edited by numismatic student

That looks much better than the seller pictures. (is it even the same coin? ... Or was that splotching on the 2x2?) MS65RD

Not sure what caused the splotchiness in the seller's pictures. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I examined what arrived today.

I'll be honest with you ; it really doesn't look like the same coin from the seller . All the water marks on sellers obverse photo are not on in hand photo , the hair and curls on sellers photo seem sharp ,not so on in hand pic And the 3 white marks right under CENTS on the in hand coin are not present on sellers coin .  |

 This surely is not the same coin! It's much better, actually.  |
