For some reason it just looks to red to have been in circulation and its not UNC... could it have been cleaned? My 1859 is off to NGC on Friday

The pics look like they were played with to make the coin look better than it is, it seems to red to me, Just my opinion

Can't go wrong for $20, but don't count on getting it into a slab. Coin is worth $20.

A 1862,is made of CN not Bronze,i don't think Red is a good color,is it?

I bet there was no mistake in taking its picture against a red background. . .

Copper is hard to photograph, and these coins don't turn red. Always the best advice when buying raw coins, is to only do it in person. Obviously by my comment about it probably won't be slabbed, is an indication the picture makes it look like it has been messed with.

at 20 bucks, who cares about a slab. the detail looks about right for xf. i'd risk it.

Why own a coin that could be harshly cleaned even for $20? I would pass.

My "2 cents" worth...

XFine. Less than $20. Little headdress detail and liberty on band is hard to make out. Uncriculated is quite a stretch.

Photo was taken using high wattage incandescent close to the coin and using a flash as well to remove the shadings. This would make it appear redder than it is. My bet is that this coin is brown.
