What the heck is this brown crap in the valleys of this coin?
I also cannot stand the exaggeration of his sales pitch.
Should send up a red flag but newbies get sucked right in only to find out they got screwed. Not good for the community.

    images might be doctored. I seem to recall a bunch of coins with similar background and the weird lighting.

    The absurd and hyperbolic description would hopefully be a flag to anyone with a brain. Sadly, there are many that believe this stuff.

    You must be mistaken Morgan13, it appears he has a 100% feedback rating on Ebay..... :D

    What are the top offs to this being a problem coin? The grandiose description is a flag, but can someone ELI5 explain like i am five as to the problems with it?

    Problem coin with highly edited and deceptive images. Who knows whats wrong with it, but I bet it looks weird as hell in hand.

    One of many BTW. I think ebay is a great place to buy IF you know what your doing. Even if you do kniw what your doing you can still have to do a return from time to time.

    It's pretty bad when a coin company needs to come up with an alias. :D

    I'd say definitely been cleaned... the darker areas in the crevice is the toning that was originally on the coin? High portions on the hair look pretty dull. And .... I think those photos have been 'helped'. Pass for me.... ! I haven't done business with the company, but the wording and methods being used all raise questions... seen that scenario many times.

    Hint: Reviewing recently completed auctions from Great Collections may yield some interesting results.

    Instead of hinting, why not show the relevant results?

    While this good feedback, I have no interest in this coin. I will leave the research and conclusions to those who are interested. I will simply say that I have previously had coins sold through Great Collections where "strongly similar coins" appeared in eBay auctions from this seller shortly thereafter.
