I tend to rip apart all my potential purchases and if they are still standing then the decision is made easier to move forward, so please rip away

For the purposes of consistency and avoiding embarassment, I have to say PASS. Even though the coin definitely looks nicer than how it was originally presented.
For all we know, these pictures are deceptive and not showing things that were clear in the other photo.
Or the coin has been preserved to stop the green stuff; good.
Ignorant viewpoint time: If it were made of the correct, proper metal, I might agree that it is a cool original coin. But, not being yellow, it was 'made wrong'.
The obverse is more appealing to me than the reverse!

Unless it is an R5 or higher it has ti have eyeappeal for me to go for it, no matter what the price. >>
In that case, I'd say you can do better if you are just gonna' be buying one.

The next is, have you spoken with the seller and asked questions regarding the coin. We are doing all this sleuthing regarding what ifs and could be's when a phone call might help straighten out the whole affair. Also, see question one again for reference.
Because of the iffy nature of your purchase, make sure there is no restocking charge if you do buy it, i.e. read their return policy closely.
In the end it all comes down to what the coin looks like in person and if the dealer is trustworthy in your opinion with regard to telling you like it is. Not all dealers are created equal. There are many people whose opinion I trust implicitly and others where I put my hand on my wallet when I am saying hello.
Good luck and let us know what you decide
