<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 546741, member: 17261&quot;]Well, well....IMO, somebody is going to over-pay for that coin. Indeed it is well struck, but the dies were sharpened in 1915 and some detail was added to the beard. The coins does appear to be an EDS example and the fields look pretty clean...but lighting makes the world of difference and there&#039;s a lot of over-exposure in these pics.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>GSC pictures ALWAYS make the coin look better than it really is with untrue color representation and tricky lighting.&nbsp; They make even the crappiest coin look like it&#039;s something special. Give me a WHITE background with proper white balance calibration! I&#039;m guessing the bidders know what they are doing and will not hesitate to use the return policy if the coin does not meet their expectations. Hard to tell from crappy 400x400 pictures, but there looks to be a couple deep hits to the cheek. I believe GSC is rubbing their hands together in joy right now as they likely paid MS63 money or less for this coin....about $245. The CDN price jump from 63 to 64 ($1250 ask) is a HUGE gap and a risk I&#039;d not be willing to take unless the coin was slabbed or I could see it in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
