    Polished first, fingernail polish added second, fingernail polish removed third.

    Is the red color applied to the coin or a reflection because it was so highly polished?

    Worn through normal circulation (as evidenced by the reverse), and then had the crap polished out of it on a buffing wheel. Melt it down!

    Polished to death then shot with a pink point and shoot camera. You can even see the reflection of their fingers in the left field. That's one ugly dog.

    Better yet, don't buy it ,although someone has won it for 20.50 total. (3$ shipping) - melt is 16.40$ - the bidiot just lost 4.10$.
    20.50 would have bought a 2016 silver eagle!!

    I was going to say spit shine, but @Kirkuleez looks to be dead on.

    And, I can't believe that coin sold for $20.50 shipped...

    I don't buy culls so I wouldn't know - do culls typically go for that much over spot?

    In that condition it is more a CRAP dollar - would you buy it?

    I can get ms peace dollars for $20 but I have an lcs owner buddy hookup. As long as you can still tell it's a peace dollar it gets the sane premium or a touch more than an ase... as confirmed by this sale
