NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5209 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 3:46 pm What do you think of this Braided Hair Half Cent offered on ebay for auction? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1853-Braid...203220451399 Is the color supposed to look like this "neon red-brown"? It almost seems like "spray-painted" to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Haloed color visible around the devices does not look natural, and maintains a pretty flat appearance. No original skin left on that one, certainly not choice unc IMO Report this Post to the Staff
