Lafayette Dollar

[Weidel Legacy Collection]

Its just about all I can do to NOT bid on this dollar. The condition looks good, the price is very reasonable, but the colors on the reverse scare me. What do you think - it only has a couple of hours to go?

Photograph is not good enough to get much from it. But myself, I think I would pass unless I could see it in person.

The guy gives a fifteen day return so if you don't like it send it back but he does say it has hairlines so that most likely means it has obvious hairlines from a cleaning and the picture looks too odd to get the real look of the coin. Good luck. mike

Looks cleaned and retoned to me.

That coin doesn't look just right to me. Could be cleaned. The toning also looks funny.

Definately AT. You did not miss much on this one, but then again you can't get decent Lafayette Dollars for much less than this.

 

Most of the orginal coins at this price have dark gray toning. If you don't like that, a dipped or cleaned one will sell for somewhere in this range, Bright AUs do get into PCGS and NGC holders, but don'd kid yourself into thinking that they have not been dipped. Virtually all of them have been.
