    Somewhere between bad, worse, and fake. ;)

    I would have said the same thing about Bonedigger's coin if I only had the auction photos though, and that turned out pretty darn nice, so please take my opinion for what it's worth....Mike

    Auction pictures tend to be bad. I was going to post lots of pictures today, as I bought a camera, paid 26 dollars for express shipping, however have yet to receive the item. And of course, since I'm banned from ebay, can't get in touch with the seller. Sigh.

    why are you banned from ebay?

    I bid on a coin that was counterfeit, in order to protect the naive buyer from paying thousands of dollars (it closed at 2600), and since I had no intention of paying, I was banned. Ebay has since removed the seller, yet I remained banned.

    Good Show Z. Very high principles. Good Show! :hug: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :hug: The half pic looks washed out. I'd say it's in the VF-25/35 range.

    Leadfoot:
    I don't see the problems that you are seeing, why do you think that it is a fake?
    Looks very nice, but overly bright to me.
    The brightness may be the lighting for the photo.

    Zaneman:
    Haven't you been able to get in touch with eBay yet?
    Find a link so that we can start a protest for you.
    Lets do it, guys. Lets let eBay know how we feel about their unjust treatment of Zane.
    Zane: I haven't heard from Coin World yet.

    Just covering my bases. I see nothing to suggest it is fake, other than an odd looking date. I'm not nearly familiar enough with the series to conclude with any certainty that this is in fact a counterfeit...Mike

    I've been searching eBay for Savannah & Estate, nothing yet, except for seemingly legit items.

    I'm not sure what exactly happened. I kept threatening them with legal action and media coverage, and bam! My account was back. Not sure if they were correlated in any way.
