[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 7517946, member: 87737"]Here's what I see/think. (read through this before commenting) They are the same coin. Ignore the difference in color, as that can easily be attributed to white balance differences in the camera/post processing. That happens often. Aside from the portrait, everything else between the two coins is the same. Same crud in the 2nd 'N' in UNION, same filled die in the first N, same filled '4', same dirt/toning around the devices (note star immediately to left of the date), and more. But then we get to the portrait. What the Heck!?!?! Is that wacky discoloration showing at all angles? Particularly straight-on like the seller's photo? Is it physical gunk on the token, or something else? Kinda looks like it's been coated in olive oil or something. Definitely get eBay involved, and even though (IMO) it's the same coin, the images were deceptive enough to warrant an 'Item Not As Described' claim. Also get whoever you used to pay (credit card or PayPal, etc) involved, and dispute the charge.[/QUOTE]
