  I hate when sellers use different font sizes and all the colors. Makes it seem like a circus sideshow and I run, run, run away.

  Well it looks ok to me, considering the N is weak on the reverse...but I agree it would bring more certified.

  The reverse looks cleaned to me.

  Perfect example of a coin that probably was slabbed genuine for being recolored or cleaned.

  A quick glance and I agree with the Genuine comments.
  That would be the reason it isn't in plastic. Looks authentic but not problem free

  I'm tempted to say that this might be a die-struck counterfeit. The fields look too smooth for a circulated coin.

  the seller, an optometrist who goes by the ebay handle "lens-doc" and almost always has "too good to be true" raw coins for sale, is widely suspected of being another kind of doctor. caveat emptor.

  FWIW, the listing says "uncirculated".

  Raw, expensive coins on e-bay. Some people just don't get it. If you want a doctored or fake coin, you can save lots of money by getting one from China.

  It appears as though he purchased this coin back in January from Centsles...........That's all I have to say about that.

  These days, when a coin like this is sold raw, there is a reason; and reason is not good for the buyer. In a word, PASS.
