I would think that just about any Bust series of coinage NEEDS to be certified before I take it seriously.

I bet that toning gets kicked out as QC.

Considering his other items for sale, including Rogaine, I'd back off

I would hope so.
Cleaned a long time ago and then AT to hide it.
BHNC #248 … 140 and counting.
I believe every comment provided so far, yet. . . still kind of like it.
Lots of doctoring these days...Lots of coins have artificial toning. Proceed w/ caution. Some of it is very hard to detect.
I'd like it a heck of a lot more if it was at least authenticated as a "details" coin...

He could have at least fixed the white balance. This is closer.

Also gouging for a 3 oz Walmart bottle of sanitizer - $20 plus $5 shipping.
What a scum bag.

To each his own. That Day-Glo reverse in particular really kills it for me.
I don't know, this vendor sells way too much non coin stuff. Rogaine! I think that's the only coin. You can do better. Peace Roy

Back off it. Why has it not been slabbed?
A textbook example of cleaning and AT. Pass.
Totally agree with all of the comments about toning, questionable authenticity, etc. I still wanted confirmation, though. I want to purchase a bust dollar, and would never buy an unslabbed specimen.
Unless you are an expert yourself, you should only buy something like this already slabbed. There are too many fakes, too many doctored, etc. These days I don't think I'd buy any raw coin over $500, and probably not over $250.
It has been slabbed. If you look down in the description area, you will see “NGC details.”
The coin has lots of detail, but it’s also been given a layer of AT, probably to hide something.
I think he forgot to change the description and that VF details was for another coin he listed. I don't think NGC would net grade that to VF even with AT.
My guess is some of that Taco Bell napkin toning after a cleaning.
