This PCGS MS65 1859 doesn't look right to me.

This one's been screwed with.

Pro and con responses are much appreciated.

    Ok. I'll bite. The only thing that might catch my attention is the color of the coin.
    And it looks like it may have more iron mixed in the copper than normal.
    (Hence the rusty look)

    Other than those things it looks like a sweet coin.

    Did I miss anything? If so, please enlighten me.

    Lots of carbon spots. Otherwise, she's a winner. What are you suspicious of?image

    As long as it has the strike and no hits, especially on the face they seem to be generous with carbon spotting. Personally I don't like it much.
