    I like the coin, not the appearance of it.
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    To tell you the truth, it looks like it's polished.

    I agree ... dipped, cleaned and polished up

    I don't care for the early walkers that have had the original skin stripped from the surface.

    Nice strike but would have held out for a more original piece. Just MHO.

    Some of the images look alright and some look as if the coin was polished. I'd steer clear. Oh, if it is polished, probably no need to dip it?

    Pleading ignorance is never a good sign. BIG RED FLAG!



    << <i>LOOK CLOSELY AT PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK. >>


    Usually this is Ebay speak for no returns.

    At the very least it's dipped and washed out looking, and from some of those pics, it does look very unnatural and polished.Did you happen to ask about his return policy?

    Oooh. Flashy.

    Dipped? Yeah, maybe, but so what.

    Pretty!

    These two images make it look just dipped with nice amounts of luster left........

    While these two image make the coin look heavily polished......

    image

    image

    And these two images make the coin look lightly polished.....

    image

    image

    If it looks like the first two images in hand, I think you should be ok, if it looks like the other ones, I think you will not be satisfied.

    That was a really high price to pay for a severely buffed coin. Sorry.
