what are your thoughts on this trade dollar?

Not interested in buying it, just want to hear some opinions. Sure looks heavily polished.

    Something about it sure doesn't look right.

    A good toothpaste scrubing perhaps.

  • Those bottom images in the listing make it look dcam. Wonder how they did that?

    The coin does not look right to me either. The denticles on the obverse are beautiful from 7 to 9. However,
    they are much too close on the right side of the coin. Maybe it's the pic but I don't think so. I'd say this
    one is one to pass on.

    A doctored fake. Neck feathers are not blending with breast and leaving
    a huge gap over right wing. Arrow heads blundered. Other anomalies can be seen.

    Florence, Mississippi seems to be a watering hole for quite a few skanky eBay dealers. PASS.image
