Thoughts on whether or not this has been cleaned or artificially toned? I don't buy the PL claims, but it looks like an interesting coin if it isn't doctored. http://www.ebay.com/itm/232338634025?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Not cleaned but ms61 at best from the photos IMO...also looks like Christopher Walken kept that baby right where he kept his best friends watch as a POW during Nam
I feel like it's all original, but less than appealing IMO. The coin does have nice mirrors, but the mottled toning and the massive amount of bag marks are very distracting.
I'd definitely pass on that coin. Finding PL or even DMPL early S mint coins is not all that difficult and that one has more than 1 issue.
Obviously the slab on this one is a sham, but what about the coin itself. I know the 80/81 S coins are graded on a curve, but this one looks pretty clean. http://m.ebay.com/itm/311876327063
