[QUOTE="DoubleDie, post: 362814, member: 10132"]I understand that we where asked for our opinions, and nothing wrong with saying what you think. I just not only look at the coin but what it's housed in, and this coin was behind a thin layer of plastic in the first pic, and this will always distort the light. I also noticed the normal grime around the letters and date, and the brown color (copper changes colors more dramatically than any coin metal when dipped), and all this indicated an 'original' surface to me. But on to the news pics... I don't think it's a Breen variety from these pics. It's difficult to see a lot with most pictures and the normal grime around the date doesn't help (but shouldn't be removed). Just look at the date under a microscope and see if there are any signs of an over-date. Thanks for taking more pics![/QUOTE]
