<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1557301, member: 29751&quot;]Greg, ultimately it&#039;s your decision.&nbsp; But, I stand by my first gut feelings.&nbsp; <u><b>IF</b></u>the coin is authentic, it is certainly not original (and not a proof).&nbsp; If it were me, and for the $400 you slapped down for this coin, I would send it back as fast as I could get to the post office.</p><p><br /></p><p>@ Morgandude -- It&#039;s not just the colors, but also the way the colors are distributed on the coin that make it completely clear that the coin is not original.&nbsp; It&#039;s actually probably one of the worst toning jobs I&#039;ve seen -- the fact that it&#039;s &quot;pretty&quot; doesn&#039;t make it more collectible, at least not in my philosophy.&nbsp; While attractive, unless down the road you wanted to offload this on another unsuspecting person, you would be buried in the coin.&nbsp; Serious collectors simply don&#039;t want altered coins IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go with your gut Greg, and if a 2nd in person or even 3rd in person opinion helps you feel better, by all means.&nbsp; Like I said, it&#039;s ultimately your money and your decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind regards,</p><p>-Brandon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
