<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 191783, member: 6449&quot;]First, a little more history of the coin.&nbsp; I bought it from a dealer who received it from PCGS in a &quot;body bag&quot; with the designation &quot;altered surfaces&quot;.&nbsp; At that point he just wanted to get rid of it.&nbsp; I was looking for a silly head and this one was by far the best one I could find for anywhere close to that price.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The original online image (attached here) looks very unnaturally red.&nbsp; I assumed the coin had been dipped. However, when I received it, it didn&#039;t look at all like the picture.&nbsp; You have to look closely to see the unnatural tone.&nbsp; I also doubt the coin has been altered in any other way besides recoloring or cleaning.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for the advice.&nbsp; I do know a local coin dealer who I think will give me his honest opinion, but I like the idea of seeking out your friend. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks to all who had suggestions.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The bottom line is I&#039;d be happy with the coin even if I can&#039;t improve it, but I thought I&#039;d try.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
