Maybe it's just the lighting? Guess the grade?

Eye appeal?

VF35 Details Cleaned, seems washed out and devoid of luster even though reflectivity of the coins surface, not the slab, is present.
Rest in Peace

Top wing lines indicate at least 45. No hint of cleaning. Quite a decent eye appeal of 6/10.
Rest in Peace

Looks like a lighting issue to me. Next time he should wait until the UFO takes off before taking the picture.

Seller's pics? If so, check their others for similar green tints.
Probably lighting.
If selling I'd argue it's a 45, if buying I'd argue it's a 35.
Nice coin, good collectible condition.

Welcome back mox!

Banner line beneath LIBERTY does not appear complete in these pics, though agree hair detail is there. 40, 45 - whatever.

VF35 and yes the green hue is due to lighting, the camera is on the wrong white balance setting, most likely set to daylight and photographed indoors under tungsten lights, This is a common problem with older film cameras, take a look in most scrapbooks to see the issue. My Mom and Dad were really guilty of it, and I got to know and understand the issue when I became a professional photographer so long ago.
