    It looks like all of the sellers coins have been cleaned, polished, and dipped.

    Looking at this sellers 1884-S I would say fake also.

    That's a very rare MS70 DMPL. Just kidding. I actually agree with everyone---that coin was seriously worked over and now looks totally unnatural.

    If I were to try to sell that piece of crap with the same pictures, I wouldn't net melt after the fees. EBay's a messed up place.

    I’ve seen this gray look on heavily polished coins before. The coin is a piece of junk that at best belongs in a silver dollar junk box. At worst it could be a counterfeit, but I’m can not say that from the picture. It could be bad, but I'm leaning toward "genuine."
