    It looks similar to a couple I saw on Heritage archives. I looked for the same variety and grade there and they all look about the same to me. I see nothing wrong with it. Looks genuine and in a genuine holder as well.

    After looking at a number of these, IMO it's a real coin.

    Looks real, but also looks like it should be in a genuine holder as well imho.

    Looks like that white haze might be putty.

    I dont know still- the coin may be real but those curls to me look to strong for a 35. it looks to me like it was tooled to get more detail. also- kinda looks a little "corroded" on the obverse
    edited- it also appears very clean. I guess it just wont get a bid from me...

    I agree that the details are strong for the grade, but the
    hen pecks always bother me and probably pulled the grade back a bit.
    I also think it is a lousy pic and the coin might look better in hand.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
