    Looks very nice indeed. MS64?

    Cleaned? I dunno. I don't see any major red flags, despite it being a white coin.

    Looks great to me - and hey, it isn't an 1875-S!

    If that ones for sale I am just going to assume there is a reason it's raw that the picture is hiding

    In my opinion, this coin has the look of a __________ coin. I'll fill in my blank later. :)

    All of these same concerns crossed my mind, too.

    Yet I do not have any specific reason (or enough specialized experience) to condemn this coin.

    "The looks a bit too good to be true" factor definitely applies here, at least for me. It looks very attractive (if rather clean, as mentioned) - but I'd want to see some TPG plastic around this one before I bought it.

    +1 trying to get a read on the surface and there's something wrong to my eye...whizzed was the first thing that came to mind.

    The fields don't look right as one example and that picture isn't good enough to say exactly what. Being raw at the price point that coin would be in an uncirc grade just tells me that more than likely something is wrong there

    My first thought was whizzed, so I'll join the whizzed group.

    Waves of displaced metal left of Miss Liberty, undisturbed "shadows" of original surfaces protected by raised devices, accumulated metal in the denticles in some areas, unnatural glow due to moving so much metal, indistinct details where usually quite intricate . . .

    I defer to your more worldly and experienced eye, Mike, but I can't expand the photo to see what you are seeing.

    What's sad is this......this coin most probably was a extremely nice specimen at one time .
    And some ass tried to make it better.... well to an untrained eye they may have fooled someone , what they did to all of us is cheat us of a chance to own a very nice specimen. To me it's like a hunter who loves to hunt and the kill,but never eats ,or uses what he hunts or kills!
    Total nonsense and I personally have no use for such a person . To me it's criminal .

    It has less to do with magnification, than it does the indelible lessons that come with a few painful experiences of old.
