Need some opinions on the color of this coin...

.....still trying to spend my $1,500 from Ebay, and I really am set on getting a '55DDO. I want MS, so I know I am going to have to kick some money in, but thats ok. I came across this one, and though its in a NEW ANACS slab, I think (loosely used due to good pics being too small, and the large pics out of focus). BUT, for NOW, I was wondering what you all think of the COLOR of this coin. I LIKE the color, and I am not a toner guy...but for the coin I want ('55DDO), this is within reach and as far as a toner goes, I like the coin for what it is. I am not so concerned about the grade crossing, at THIS point....I am concerned about the toning....what say you all....is this NT or AT? As I said, the small pics are clear, but inconclusive, the large pics are too fuzzy, the slab pic is much clearer, and probably a good representative of the coin itself. SOOOO, with that.....what say you? NT or AT?

Sorry for the amount of images, but I wanted to post all the images of the coin possible. Thanx for your opinions, and dont be afraid to hold back.

Again, as I said, the large are too fuzzy, maybe not too fuzzy to get a grasp on the color, and the smaller ones, while clear, are just that, too small. Thanx!

    Well that's my opinion. but the color in the photo is probably not accurate as the label isn't the right color either. --Jerry

    My opinion is for that much money, either get better pics of the coin, see it in person, or make sure there is a solid no questions asked gaurantee. I would not spend the money based on those pics alone. I like your choice of what your going to buy though! image
    imageQuid pro quo. Yes or no?
  • Matters not now, someone hit that BIN. I knew I should have rolled the dice with this one. Sigh, well, looks like I'll have to grab a nice AU58.......possibly an AU58 3 legged Buff......dammit. The chances you take posting specific coins out here before you get them.

    Give us some good photographs when you get it... Cheers, RickO
  • I am guessing someone that read the thread went and hit the BIN, it wasnt me, so here I sit, wondering 'what if'.....now, I hope it's AT'd and gets BB'd at PCGS. Funny how suddenly, after no action on it, I post it, and BOOM, its gone...within 5 minutes of my posting this.....as I said, thats the chance you take when posting a pic of a coin you havent gotten yet. Lesson learned the hard way.

    it looks original, the photos are just poor, but you can get do better in my opinion, I would by pcgs if I were you on a key date
  • Looks like it may have been MS-70'ed.
