Is it just me or do the denticles from 10 to 4 o'clock look a little bit odd?

I presume the differences are due to strike variations. This coin in circulated grade would not be a likely candidate for counterfeiting. Note that the color does not look good; I'd call this one close to EF detail but cleaned (with value reduced accordingly).

The color seems odd to me, but that could, I suppose, just be a question of the camera settings.

I think its just lighting issue causing the color looking to be off but I do not see anything besides color that looks odd to me. If this is the actual color then it may have been recolored or something

Agree that the color seems unusual. Seller has a good record and a 7 day return policy. With 4 days left you might think about asking if the pics posted accurately reflect the coloring of the coin in-hand. Couldn't hurt. In any event there are lots of other '64's out there.
Rest in Peace

There is nothing wrong with the coin in question. The denticles look funny to you probably due to the angle of which the photograph was taken. As far as the color, that could be from the photograph also. If you are weary of it ask the seller to send you another photograph of the coin. That way you can be more certain as to whether you want it or not.

Eh, I decided to bid on another Two Cent Piece. I don't know, something about those denticles just didn't quite look right.

Thanks guys!
