Default AU = Almost Unrecognizable?

Lol! All that's missing is the ACG slab.

He just hit the wrong key. His AU Should have been AG.

Hilarious! I don't even know if that coin would qualify for AG. The
dent on the reverse rim is an extra treat.

Actually, he didn't George. I e-mailed him about that auction stating that he
must have meant AG. No, he wrote back, he compared the coin to Photograde and
it matched the photo for AU. Might have been a bit better! If you don't like
it, don't bid on it..... Yadda yadda yadda.

Here's the "yadda yadda yadda" that I got:
The coin was purchased from a dealer in a 2x2 flip - the flip had the
coin
catagorized as AU - I took the coin out of the flip to get a better
picture
- based on PhotoGrade AU would seem to fit - the picture does not give
as
good a color as the coin has - I am not a grader - I relied on a dealer
that I bought this from. Sometimes the pictures actually can (or seem
to)
accentuate any wear on a coin - either way, that is the coin in the
auction
- if you do not think it is AU then I would recommend either not bidding
at
all or bidding only what you feel would make sense. As you can see in
the
pictures, I am not trying to hide anything on the coin. I appreciate
your
comment - thank you.

But at least he assures us that the coin pictured is the coin you're
going to get.

take care,

Well, people can indeed have a change of heart. That seems to be the case
with this vendor. Have a look and see:

It would absolutely qualify for AG. Certainly no worse than that. I'd
like to have the coin in front of me for a second or two, though. I
think they may have the date wrong.
