    Had a really cheap buy it now price, and I've always wanted one, what do you think, does it look like it's been cleaned? If it has I can easily sell it, but if not it's sticking with me.

    More than likely a cleaning victim, especially since I see no traces of luster.....but hey it looks awfully nice condition wise & add a bargain price on top of that and you have a winner! Congrats!

    I suspect that it has been cleaned, too, as I don't see any luster either.

    If the color in the pics is anywhere even close in hand, I agree.

    Interesting thought!
    I was figuring that the pictures were taken by a window and that the colors were a reflection of the sky, but if the coin looks like that in-hand, yikes.....definitely AT :)

    I hope the OP posts some good photos once received.... it might end up being a bargain at $85.

    I got it today and was happily surprised as to how nice it really was. What do you think now? :) Don't know where the blue came from in his pictures, it's blast white.

    The images make me think it's been worked on a bit. Not a natural look for this coin. One image makes me think it been polished and the next image makes me thing it's had one dip too many. Hard to see what's going on with the luster.

    Yeah, but it's a damn site better than the original pics Larry.......

    And I must say that what you just stated was in the back of my mind.
