Bluntedbobylon Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 12:23 pm Beautiful coin! Nevermind, I took a quick peek at it with the Transmission Electron Aberration-corrected Microscope that I just happen to have lying around and it seems there's a slight problem at the atomic level... You might as well just trash this one and start your search over or you could just pass it my way cuz' I just happen to like such defective coins Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 1:45 pm There is something decidedly unnatural about the appearance of that coin. I strongly suspect that it has been dipped and retoned, the color is just too uniformly tan and "perfect". These photos remind me of an ebay seller that sells Lincolns with the same uniform appearance. I do not remember the EbayID at the moment but a few members have stated receiving recolored coins.

Here's some more sellers to avoid. http://stores.ebay.com/toombas-coins http://stores.ebay.com/shoestring-coins http://stores.ebay.com/Sleepyeye-Co...Collectibles Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:44 pm Biokemist-I was thinking that coin is "too" nice. Hate to be devils advocate. Actually hope it is just a REALLY nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:48 pm That would be a $14000 coin in that condition...no slab? Just sayin... Report this Post to the Staff
sully Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:49 pm This seems like a weird way to describe it, but it looks plasticy. Weird I know. Report this Post to the Staff
Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:51 pm It's a beauty but looks the color is not on the metal but kind of coated ! Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 2:52 pm Sully- I see what you mean. Does kinda look like my daughters play money...with much better detail of course. Report this Post to the Staff
