I was also going to say the mint mark should not be so worn as the higher relief features around it. And again, goofiness beyond the norm for the...
Is it possible to post clearer pictures? Some goofiness in the legends, like more so than you would expect to due heavy wear, but I can't tell how...
Ok man, it's always a good idea to seek multiple opinions. Best of luck.
I think getting into numismatics as a dealer at the very beginning is a recipe for disaster. I was a collector for several years before purchasing...

Wouldn't expect Krause prices, but definitely a great buy at melt :) It's often hard to tell, but there appears to be clear separation with two...
Sorry but no... wish I was
Jeez man... you really need to start buying from reputable sources if you are going to buy coins of this caliber. This one is a fake.

That's just wrong :O
Since we're on this topic... anyone buy a newly listed BIN you had no desire for because you KNEW it was a mistake and wanted to help a seller...
