@Jerry Picker - That is not the seller of this coin. Below are the listings for this and another associated sale - the seller is well reviewed. I have purchased from him in the past and have always been happy.

I have also purchased from the seller you linked - you can't miss him on the bay if you are looking at Buffalo nickels. I am very familiar with his pickling and consequent results. These coins look nothing like this seller's products.
@Ty2020b - The coins are currently in my safe deposit box and I will pull these out to weigh and maybe re-image in the next few weeks. Markets have been a little hectic and things have been busy at work. I've also been buying lots of things as inflation have brought asset prices down considerably. Many things that have not been for sale for a long time have been coming to market.
@JTCC - from what I remember from the examination I did when I received the coins, the surfaces looked great and didn't get the sense that the coin was acid treated. Will take another look when I get them back in hand.
@bandsdean - Hey bd, it's been a little while. How have you been? I don't have these coins for sale on FB or anywhere. I don't sell anything on FB. No plans to send to TPG. It is a little weird how nice I remember that the coins looked in hand and how they look in the images. Also remember that the images didn't look as good as the coin in hand - that likely speaks to my lack of imaging skills. I can see why you would be concerned but I don't really have any concerns.
Sorry for the delayed responses. Will try to keep more up to date.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

. Halfway tempted to purchase one just to get it in hand and see what's going on with them.
. Would be nice to add these to my blacklist portion of my binder for reference, but don't see any way to purchase them via
