Bob Peterson brings this auction to our attention:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...indexURL=4& p hotoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting Not artificially toned, Bob, byt not a MS-67 either. First, his white balance is so far off that everything has an orange cast. Correcting that, it appears to have the color of a MS-65 or MS-66. But wait! The ennlargement shows many, many hairlines in right and left obverse fields. Not scratches in the plastic, since the coin is raw. Therefore, I'd net it down to a MS-64 Red worth $30-$40. What a buy! Closed at $122.50. Perhaps a bit of puffery in the description, say wot? Ira Stein
