I'm looking at buying this coin and based on the obverse what do you think it would grade? I know this company has a habit of editing their images. Thanks   Edited by coins92

Good old Great Suthun Coins obviously. It's apparently been Photoshopped, but don't know if it's a Philly or San Fran mint. Have a pic of the reverse?
Definitely UNC.

I'd go close to MS-63 but not having a look at the reverse sorta dilutes that. There's nothing like "coin in hand"...

I see slight wear on the hair of Ms Liberty, also on the eagles right talon, and on the quill of the arrow. Coins appears to have been dipped. I'd grade it at AU-58. A very nice looking coin.

Any ideas of what would be a safe price to pay for this coin considering it is uncertified?

I personally wouldn't bid on it. You can always put in a very low bid and hope to win, but I would advise against it. the poor and played with photos could be holding back a great deal of problems, and the coin just doesn't look right.

It looks like a proof, or possibly. Definitely a GSC coin. It it is a proof, the question begged is "why isn't it slabbed". It is impossible to grade proofs by photos, because hairlines are easy to hide in photos. So like wheatguy said, best to avoid it.

I would avoid that coin like the plague! If it don't look right stay away. Besides I just don't trust GSC. I've seen too many of their coins that look too good to be true if you know what I mean. Something that nice would be slabbed if not for some underlying problem.

My guess, and
i have seen alot of the same proof coins sold many times its possibly
improperly cleaned, I agree there photo's always look too good for an un-slabbed coin..
