Somewhat hard to see in my images due to the original splashes of red-brown and blue-gray toning, however there is a solid coin underneath the color. And unquestionably original. This is rare as many people, including most dealers, would almost instantly clean such a coin to make it "shiny". A review of any number of coins certified in PCGS or NGC holders at AU-50 to 53 will confirm that this abuse commonly does not matter in terms of whether a coin will certify or not. Oddly enough, it is a 50-50 chance that a coin such as this one would come back "environmental damage" - as I joked to someone once "I guess that's what we used to call toning".

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
