b17commander Valued Member United Kingdom 115 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 05:58 am Hi all, What's your thought on this coin? http://cgi.ebay.com/Scarce-U-S-A-19...t_1844wt_905 The dealer look genuine, but there's something about the coin that is putting me off. Reverse image bottom edging don't look right, and bottom of hairline on obverse, it may be the way the picture was taken? Any thought Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 10:31 am Looks like photo was taken from an angle in addition to odd lighting coming from that direction. Coin looks legit at first glance, but most likely cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 12:38 pm I would say the coin is legit, but it has been harshly cleaned and polished. Even though it's a scarcer date I would avoid this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 12:59 pm I'm not an expert, but it looks genuine, yet cleaned and or polished previously... The wear pattern on the obverse seems a little odd as well, or it could just be me... Good Luck Report this Post to the Staff
b17commander Valued Member United Kingdom 115 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 11:01 am UPDATE Thanks for all your advice, but as I didn't have one of these in my collection, I put in a bid of just £25 ($40) not expecting to win it.
