    Hey, what are you doing here! That coin doesnt have George III or Queen Victoria on it! image



    That's one of those where it's difficult for me to guess between AU58 and MS62 BN or so based on the pictures.



    By "GTG" I suppose that means you've had it graded, now?



    Nice large cent. I'm not 100% certain the color is all natural, but I like the overall look.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Cleaned/Altered (color) AU would be my guess.

    If the price was right, it would make for a cool album coin or something to have around.



    Just going by what the pics look like on my screen

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    AU55 detail, but as others said the color MAY be off, but it also might just
    be the lighting, exposure, tint, etc., of the photograph creating that appearance.

    I thought the colour was off as well.



    The coin overall isn't too bad looking (actually rather nice condition wise), but the colour probably not as nature would have made it.

    I'm guessing these are scans so the color would be off a bit. I do like the detail off it. I'll wager 62

    .

    i concur with cleaned/retoned something going on.



    your background has a bluish/purple look because the white balance is off a bit.
