This does not look right........

What do you think? Looks awful strange to me

 

Or is it just some weird photography?

Obverse too hard to determine. Reverse looks better than VF 30 to me. This is the kind of thing (especially with no return policy) where you ask for more pictures.

Weird pics, makes it look like a PL, I wouldn't take the risk.

A $75 SLH listed as a $3,000 SLQ? Yeah, doesn't look right to me either!

The PCGS slab looks right, but the coin shows no evidence of VF-30 circulation wear.

 

I would be very wary of this certified creation.

Looks like the auction was ended.

He relisted it as an SLH this time

My guess is circulated cameo with some really creative picture taking.

The surfaces don't look right for a VF coin. They look too bright.

 

Years ago I got stuck on a PCGS graded 1807 quarter that was in a VF-30 holder. The holder was so scratched up that I could NOT see the coin well, but it looked to be toned and had enough detail. The customer wanted the coin raw so I cracked it out. Much to my chagrin the coin had been polished and given a coat of attificial toning.

 

Let this be a lesson to those of you who think that PCGS is always right.

 

I don't like the looks of this piece. It's either net graded somehow, or someone played games and put a different coin in the holder, or they put one in there with trick photography.

shrimp or chocolate?

This looks like an over-dipped XF45 that was market graded at VF30, rather than body-bagged.
