    Considering his other items for sale, including Rogaine, I'd back off

    I bet that toning gets kicked out as QC.

    I would hope so.

    Cleaned a long time ago and then AT to hide it.

    BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.

    Lots of doctoring these days...Lots of coins have artificial toning. Proceed w/ caution. Some of it is very hard to detect.

    I'd like it a heck of a lot more if it was at least authenticated as a "details" coin...

    He could have at least fixed the white balance. This is closer.

    Also gouging for a 3 oz Walmart bottle of sanitizer - $20 plus $5 shipping.
    What a scum bag.

    To each his own. That Day-Glo reverse in particular really kills it for me.

    I don't know, this vendor sells way too much non coin stuff. Rogaine! I think that's the only coin. You can do better. Peace Roy

    Back off it. Why has it not been slabbed?

    A textbook example of cleaning and AT. Pass.

  • RomankowRomankow Posts: 146 ✭✭✭

    Totally agree with all of the comments about toning, questionable authenticity, etc. I still wanted confirmation, though. I want to purchase a bust dollar, and would never buy an unslabbed specimen.

  • shorecollshorecoll Posts: 5,447 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Unless you are an expert yourself, you should only buy something like this already slabbed. There are too many fakes, too many doctored, etc. These days I don't think I'd buy any raw coin over $500, and probably not over $250.

    It has been slabbed. If you look down in the description area, you will see “NGC details.”

    The coin has lots of detail, but it’s also been given a layer of AT, probably to hide something.

    I think he forgot to change the description and that VF details was for another coin he listed. I don't think NGC would net grade that to VF even with AT.

    My guess is some of that Taco Bell napkin toning after a cleaning.
