I tend to agree with you, but part of me says, "those ebay photos... you can never really tell." It's hard to capture luster, but the surface is not very smooth. And I would think that seller has some experience taking some good photos. |

Judging from the quality of the polishing on this coin, the guy could make a good living as a car detailer if the coin biz falls through.
