<< <i>XF 45 details, but I wonder where the luster is -- a coin with this much meat on it should have quite a bit, yet none shows in the photos.... Hmmm..... >>
Don't know what to tell ya.
The pic is a little flatter than the coin looks in person. Maybe just a hint of luster.
Other than that, you tell me.
Edit: Using a hand held 2 MP camera, no adjusting. Lighting was natural light on a cloudy day. Unedited pic.

OK, I suspect the coin has been recolored or the surfaces otherwise altered.
Remember, you asked.

I really do appreciate your suspiscion.
I've had it for about 5 years now.
Under close inspection I can't detect anything abnormal but I'll admit I'm not too advanced in detecting old copper doctoring.
Whizzing, etc. seems alittle easier to detect on silver rather than copper for me.
I know that pictures can be decieving too and I hope your wrong. (no offense)

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>I too think that it has been re-colored -- EAC grading would be much tougher >>
Agree totally, bet it would net no higher than 35.
I also hope I'm wrong
