This 1927 S sold on Ebay last week and I wonder about the coloring. Does it appear natural or not?

    The coin doesn't look at all natural. Why did you ask?

    I don't like the looks of it. Very unnatural appearance.

    @MFeld Why did you ask?

    I felt it was AT also and to back that thought up the seller had many, many of these early 09-34 AU to BU coins blued like this and I first thought why would someone damage such higrade Lincolns until I saw what they sold for, unbelieveable. This coin sold for $60+. Just curious.

    Too bad that there are so many doctors out there cashing in on the color craze.
