Any Chance Of Being Choice Unc Bu? $10 Indian

Just looking at these pictures made me shudder to think that this is an UNC coin. Granted, it's GOLD and we all have salivated, one time or another, over GOLD, but can this be an uncirculated piece? Help me here. Are my eyes failing me or do I see a scam? Do I now go back and let all the TPG's do the work for me?

OK, here...Look: Why are there so many marks on the face and in the field on the obverse, and still called a BU. Is it the photography or what? It's on eBay at:

AU at best to me

 

Ding on cheek automatically disqualifies this coin

Nice coin though:thumb:


stainless

 

I believe that Greatsoutherncoin has been mentioned here at CT before. This auction is just so ludicrous that even I, had to say something. Is this their MO? I'm trying to be nice here, but Is this how they do business? If so, I'll just say, KEEP AWAY!!!

Au

 

i thought the OP was joking thats why i laughed i didnt think it was a serious question

 

oops i just realized you were the OP

 

Au, the lack of obverse luster also makes me wonder about cleaning on that side, too.

 

I was trying to be sarcastic, really.

Sure, it is BU, Beat Up.

Or it WAS BU before it was circulated.

 

Lotsa wear on the eagle's wing. Can't blame that on weak strike. Beatdown baggy.

It's a shame... 1916-S is a better date.

 

just buy any in 66 date wont matter

 

Major hits on cheek, jaw and neck. The overall granular look of the field makes me think this could be a cast copy. Not nearly a "Choice BU", whatever that means.
