pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 11:30 am Just bought this coin on ebay. Now when I take a closer look at the listing photos, the color seems a bit odd. Don't have the coin yet. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 4:40 pm I concur, looks like a nice XF coin to me. Have you weighed and measured it to see if it is within specs? Should be 13.48 grams, 32mm diameter and 1.7mm thickness. If you still have concerns after that you could do a specific gravity test to determine the composition. Report this Post to the Staff
pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 8:54 pm Thanks all. I don't have the coin yet. May be the monitor I was using this afternoon -- seemed to have a sort of acetone mottling, but on my home PC I don't see it. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/13/2021 9:03 pm It has a greenish tint on my monitor. A bit odd but coins can pick up darn near any color in the rainbow so I wouldn't be concerned from those images. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
