    Hmmm... horrible pictures, but, let's see...
    Raw.
    Horribly pitted.
    Wrong font on date.
    Vest dissipates completely into the field.
    Picture of the reverse looks like it was taken in the dark, and as far as I can tell, it may be the button I lost off my pin-stripe suit my mother made me wear for a matching picture with my idiot brother when I was 3. I won't forgive her for that one.


    So, I wouldn't buy it.

        Use a magnifier to see the details...lolol..the pic has no details to magnify. They have decent pics for all the other listing but this one. Makes me think they know it's fake. All their common date coins are in flips or cases and "The BIG One" is just leaning on something. .I'm sure they know

          Ughhh!

          The fields don't look dished like a normal coin, too flat and not like a plate (like it might not even be die struck) and the rims are funny along with the whole design.
