Not at all, they obviously occurred after the toning. And that toning is not the result of being in a canvas bag.
Then wouldn't you say that asking price kind of reinforces my opinion ?
Honestly, no I would not pay $9 for that coin. Appears to have been harshly cleaned based on the pics.
surface preservation - there are too many hits in the prime focal areas (particularly obv) for the coin to be graded higher than 64. strike -...
Were I grading, it would never make 65 - solid 64 though. The real question is what's the asking price ? I would be hesitant to pay 65 money for it.

Looks NT, personally do not like it much as it is a bit too blotchy for my taste.
What they do not explain on the web site is the distances for each designation. You should be able to clearly read reflected text in the coin at -...

The evidence is plainly obvious - it is the price itself. The market establishes price based on availability and frequency of availability for any...
Appears to have been harshly cleaned at some point, that coupled with the numerous rim dings would keep it from being graded. I agree the coin has...
Pics aren't working - red X's.
Must admit have never seen one so darkly colored, nor can I imagine what could cause it. But I can't really see anything to make me decide one way...
No need for him to say it, I readily admit it ! There is only 1 ;)
The coin is damaged and shouldn't be considered gradable. I would say damaged XF details. But given the issue the TPG's would probably net grade...
Never actually filled a bathtub, used to use 5 gal. buckets of it, dip a rag in it repeatedly and rub myself down with it until I got all the...
If I were a betting man, and I am, I would bet a lot the coin is fake based on the pics.
