    Honestly, it looks a little weird--I don't know how you could light it to produce the angled cartwheel on the obverse. I'm leaning towards whizzed.

    I kinda figured it was a bagger, but it looks damn good for a reject.

    something odd there. The pic seems over adjusted as well?

    possible proof?

    No , looks more like a turtle wax and buff job to me. This seller has a lot of other exceptionally bright coins listed. I just wanted this one for my bodybag type set.

    Superior strike... but looks cleaned. NetAU50...

    Looks possibly lightly polished - but the way the lighting is positioned could give it that look - Hard to pick up those characteristics from just an image -

    Net XF45 Buffed?


    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    It's what Ken Pine's Coast To Coast Coins sells as "Choice Brillant Uncirculated" (AU-55)

    The detail on the breast is there, but the coin has good luster but the obverse has lots of hairlines plus look
    at the shadows in both images. Something is screwy!

    It's off. I'm not entirely sure how, but it's off. Whizzed or buffed, perhaps. It just doesn't look right, though with this picture it's hard to tell for sure. It could be anything from net XF to MS-63, but net AU-50 at best if it's been messed with by buffing, polishing or whizzing.
