why I bought it

The reverse is why I bought the coin in the first place, to include in my sailing ship themed signature set. And in fairness the reverse looks better than before...although the 1 or 2 spots are still there they are lighter and some of the copper in the gilt coin now shows in the field and sails, giving the coin a handsome highlighting..just a bit disappointed in the obverse...thanks for bearing with me on back-to back entries but I wanted to record for my journal's sake a more accurate record of my mixed feelings..JAX
