The leaves and bust look like they've been worked on to me. Ugh.  Edited by Coinfrog

The date looked definitely to me for sure

I would put this coin in the derelict category and you do not want to spend what it would take to purchase. The coin has a questionable date, stain spots, tooled, and scratches. PASS You are looking for a coin that you can read the date. There are no questions about the authenticity. The color and coin looks original. It can be in a details holder, but the problems should be minimal. The example will be a hard find, and it may take up to a year, and do not pay over retail. Most likely places to find the coin: Great Collections, Heritage, Stacks, ebay. |

If you zoom in on the TrueView, it was tooled (more like scraped) around the periphery, probably trying to remove corrosion. I don't think they did anything to the leaves or date.  |

Personally, I'd prefer a Gallery Mint copy to this one. IMHO, this one's worth maybe $500 as it's certified. I sold a nicer, raw one with a full date to a dealer for $700; this, about six years ago. I cherry-picked that one in a jewelry shop.

I agree with Frog, that area has a different color.

I would pass on this one. Too many issues going on.
Errers and Varietys.

Here is one you may want to look at. This coin is up for auction at Great Collections. I have seen a couple of these VG details sell in the $1200 range. This one probably will go higher as it is nicer than the other ones recently that sold at this grade.   Edited by Slider23
