What do you guys think?

[coinman_23885]

It looks like only one side of the coin is pictured. There is no way I would venture a grade based on 1) one side of the coin and 2) from those horrendous photographs. I think was risky; the coin could be completely deformed on the other side.

it looks au cleaned or less from here. jmo

It could be cleaned or just have uneven toning. I would not of taken a chance on this since the seller is only posting one side. As seller I would not think that I would get many bids on coin with only one side showing. It's not a common occurrence, but I've seen coins that had a decent obverse paired with a horrid reverse.

I'm surprised you'd even bother as you usually have some nice coins. The coin is hideous, IMO. I wouldn't care what "condition" it is in.

i don't think it was a bad gamble - even if the coin is AU and cleaned, you could get most of your money back (if you keep it).

where's the "risk" you guys are referring to, when he can simply pay $1.68 to ship it back for a refund?

[Raisethis2]

Seller seems to take marginal pictures of most things he/she sells. Leaving a lot of money on the table.

 

 

This coin "has to be" cleaned. It has no "pop" at all. I think it's BU however.

A similar gamble netted me a 1934 in 64+.

 

Despite the awful pictures i see luster, and possibly a MS coin.

i cant see the back of it

[Walkerfan]

I can't tell if it is BU or not (it might be) but the toning looks like a re-tone to me after a dip.

The spots would have turned me away. I hope it turns out for you!!

[e1cnr]

I do not see a mintmark on reverse - you may have scored

 

but the seller does seem to know prices with their other stuff

[Hard Times]

$50 for that?

[zboyle04]

i understand the taking chances, i have been burned and had others turn out excellent, i still think its worth a shot
