Very heavy bag marks on the reverse and some on the face. I wouldn't take his grading abilities too seriously Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 06/25/2009 10:19 pm The coin is totally legit as mentioned. It was taken with way too much light giving the coin that "washed out" look. $6.80 s/h is a little steep IMO. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/27/2009 11:14 am It's a scan; the seller "cleverly" backed the coin with a paper bill in the scanner. That threw the scanner's sensors off enough that it was unable to properly calibrate the scan, resulting in the poor image. I've been looking at this seller's stuff for years; almost every time, my first reaction is, "Whut?" Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 08/01/2009 11:22 pm When I list a coin, the most important thing to me is to get as clear a photo as possible so the bidder knows what he's bidding on. I don't bid on coins I can't tell what's for sale, I skip it and go on to the next one. Report this Post to the Staff
