    Something doesn't look right. The hair looks like it has too much detail in relation to the rest of the coin.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I would pass on that coin.

    Very nice coin. The stuff seen with the hair is the lighting. You'll see the same effect on the wreath on the reverse!

    I am no expert, and while I like the coin, these are readily available on the bourse and likely obtainable for less money.

    Does anyone think it looks dipped or retoned?

    Yes, no? Are you people playing around, or are being serious?

    Last one that I could find that Heritage sold: 1818 MS 63 RB Sold for $471.50 on Sept. 21, 2004 - BUT that was a PCGS graded coin!
    $380.00 is a bit high. If it is in a NGC slab & it says Randall on it... might be worth it.

    I don't know copper at all, so I can't venture a guess as to if it's been dipped or not- But I love the die breaks, and the strike looks very nice!!

    I think it's real, but it's hard to tell if it's retoned or not. If I had to guess, I think the surfaces are original.

    The die crack is common for this date, but the hair detail seems unusually extreme.

    The fact that you are hesitating on this coin should tell you to pass.

    I won't buy those unless they're PCGS/NGC/ANACS graded. Too risky IMO

    IF the scan gives an accurate representation of the color, I'd have to say it's been dipped and is retoning (quite nicely, BTW). The color is a bit "pink" to my eye in the pics - in-hand may be another matter. I'd only consider this one if I had it in-hand and could assess the true color.

    PCGS: BB - Questionable Color, IMHO.
