Here is what the coin looks like with sharpness + 5%, contrast + 25%, brightness -25%. Going on the theory that the guy who photographed it didn't do any heavy doctoring but did try to "wash out" the surfaces.

Thank you for your replies. The coin is on auction. Starting price is 240 euros. There is no return policy.
I am very undecided on what to do. Auction ends tomorrow.
I was told that the photographs of this auction house are not very good, and often the coins look better in hand. What should I do?

Honestly this may well be MS but I'd take a rain check on it since it is not slabbed, poorly photographed, and at a minimum has a weak strike. You can buy nice certified examples at teletrade and heritage for a good price.

Assuming the auction house is insuring the authenticity, go 300 euro tops. You might get a steal and at 300 euro you're offering a bit more than 15% over melt. I wouldn't go any higher than that though.
