Hi Guys. I bought this Barber on ebay last week. Didn't even know I won the auction till I checked my email just now. Anyway, after looking at the photos a little closer just now, this coin looks too good to be true.

What do you experts think, is this a real coin, a cleaned coin, or a fake?
Rest in Peace

It looks real at a glance to me, just heavily over dipped.

I would definitely love to see more pics with detail once you receive that coin!

Hard to say, bad photo image. Appears over lit which can give it a brighter but washed out appearance.

To old to be a natural blazer. It's either dipped or polished....The lack of shield detail on reverse, and crown detail obverse is a dead give away.

Don't you have the option to return the coin, if dissatisfied with what you receive? Maybe you really want it anyway, once you have it in hand?
