Avoid this seller at all costs. Juiced photos, huge quantity of coins are problem coins cracked out from slabs and doctored as "original from bank roll". Which of course they are not.

I don't recall the seller name but the old checks background is a giveaway. Infamous for artificial toning. That seems to have been a nice coin before he ruined it.

Artificially toned and likely has other issues. Agree this is a hard pass.

Stay away from this seller.

Looks too good to be true as a raw coin. I think Hondo found the ebay listing, looks like the same coin. |

Thank you all! @Hondo Boguss do you know much about that company? I'm not familiar with them but they seem to have good reviews on ebay. |

It is the same coin. My husband bought it and after looking at is going to return it as it appears to have been cleaned.

There are some older forum posts about this seller as canyoncity_coins. Juiced and doctored photos, artificially toned and cleaned coins, shill bidding, revised feedback, etc. They seem to play a good game. Sellers with pictures of piles of coins spilling out of mint bags, open safes, etc - which this guy has on every listing - are a red flag for me. Hope the refund goes smoothly.

The seller name changes but the juiced photos don't!
