I'm not really an expert, but looks right. Square rims, good strike. Not the best photos.

Looks OK to me.

Real

Looks like a genuine but harshly cleaned proof to me.

Sure looks like a proof cent.... got some age spots, but in likely cleaned condition. Cheers, RickO

real, cleaned and hairlined

Certainly a proof, but whether a brilliant or satin I am not sure(probably brilliant). This coin has been listed for a while and definitely has some problems.

It's a proof that looks hairlined to death.

Shame it was cleaned.

It is real, a real dog.

Is there such a thing as a lowball set for proofs?

I would pass on it.
It is always best to see the coin in hand.
Hit one of the major shows if you can or try BST here.

I'm saying it's a real '36 satin. The '36 satin is notorious for die polish lines (look at the coinfacts images), but this one looks whizzed.

@alpha33 Wise move to post here for advise before purchase.

I think you can do better. That coin has too many defects that are negative to the grade. IMO. Peace Roy

On a coin like that, I always wonder why the coin is not in a reputable holder.
I'd pass for the reasons already listed above.
