I can 100% guarantee you this coin will soon be listed for sale with a ++RICH BROWN++ color:...
Yea, I bought one and it's a dude....one that I'd like to get removed from ebay and have him jailed for crimes against humanity. I mean, it's...
Even though the picture is over-exposed, I can see hits in the obverse fields that would hold this back to a 65. Those fields are ultra important...
He has been on ebay forever selling recolored Lincolns. The ignorant masses just keep buying them over and over and over. Then they give him 100%...
D looks suspect, the coin needs to be conserved.
Nope! ...but it's really COOL!
Some darkness and loss of luster holds it back, should be RB on the label based on the pics. But NGC might bump it by 1, you never know with them.

No, that doesn't look like PVC damage. PVC causes a more slimy type of residue, your residue is dry and flakey. It's just plain old verdigris. A...
I've sold almost all my mint and proof sets because they are plentiful and cheap, even the older ones. Many sell below issue price. I just didn't...
Nice over-exposed pics to hide the cleaning. An old trick....bah...stay far away from coins with pictures like that.
Indeed....$2 notes are by far the most fun to spend. Love when the cashier is about 16 or so....they are completely clueless and have to ask the...
Reverse wheat tips, yup, I've seen this exact same fake before. Heck, the color was even the same! Carbon - Put a picture of a genuine 31-S next...
On second look, I see what someone did. They conserved the black residue that was on the reverse. There's traces in BUS UNUM and in the wheat...
