that's a lot of $$.........and the luster is unnatural for an FE. Getting the bids though.

No disrespect intended but I think that coin looks amazing.
Looks too awesome to be real. That is why I would never buy anything like that
unless it was slabbed, that is I don't know what I'm doing.
(and I'm no fan of grading companies or their product)

its buffed up to look like that, its not original surfaces. Anytime you see the devices so shiny like that it usually means it has seen a polishing wheel

I can't see why that coin is getting so many bids.

I have seen a lot of FE's, I never seen one that looks more polished than that one.

Looking through his other coins, a lot seem to be cleaned, enhanced in some way.

Run Forrest Run.
I notice other key date coins that are slabbed.
For high end coin, wouldn't you spend the 25 bucks?

I'm relieved it's not an 1858/7; the markers are missing.
Do you suppose that thing would slab?

Wait till the winning bidder takes it to a coin shop, excited of course, and the dealer tells him not an 1858/7 and polished to death, $50 coin at best :-O
