    Polished, might make a good part of a belt buckle. Worth silver plus a little.

    Horrible!
    The seller should pay people just to look at that piece of garbage!

    Was that coin in a fire to get those wild colors? It would make a good pocket piece. It might look somewhat normal if you carried it long enough. :D

    I think baking soda would restore it to an original appearance.
    If not, then sandblasting could make it a proof. >:)

    Somebody put a lot of effort into making it look that bad.

    It would be a great idea to start an 'ebay crap of the week' thread.... and just see what garbage and deception is encountered each week.... A method to shame some of these sellers and warn others... Of course, most sellers - and buyers, do not frequent this forum.... Would still be an interesting thread. Cheers, RickO

    It's just sick. It needs a better coin doctor than it's been seeing.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
