<p>[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 24391, member: 1258"]I find this coin very suspicious. I don't like the complete lack of denticles on the obverse. I understand that most of these coins were off-center and often the denticles are sparse, but if this coin is an MS65 as the seller states, there should be something. The coloring and shine also don't look right to me. I'd bet $20 that the coin has been recolored or some type of coating is on the surface. The area on the reverse rim mentioned by ND is definitely a cause for concern. Doesn't look MS65 to me. I think it is very possible that the hair may have been retooled, but I can't tell that from the lousy pictures. This seller has sold a number of coins and placed grades on all of them. It would seem to me then that this seller has some numismatic knowledge. Why wouldn't they have sent it to one of the Big Four to be graded/slabbed? They could have even taken to a coin show to be graded and not had to let it out of their sight. I find this entire auction very suspicious and would recommend staying away from it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
