    Dont like coin. Smudge on face looks like a putty job, dipped to point of no luster.

    While I dont specialize in this series, this coin does not seem like your cup of tea.

  • Nah... I don't like the color, especially in that grade... VF20? If that... a VF30 has quite a bit more detail in the wings, which are quite worn on this coin... and just the color seems off... almost definately dipped....

    yup, thanks for the input and help folks. I was wondering what happens to these ol'e faithfuls when someone has altered or cleaned. They will always be worth a few bucks anyway huh? Just not the big bucks some try to obtain

    NO. The epitome of a problem coin.

    They should at least whiz it for luster or SOMETHING.

    Cleant, cleant, cleant....and not nicely, IMO.
