IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

I AM REALLY A SUCKER FOR ORIGINAL SURFACES, NEEDLE-SHARP STRIKE, EXCELLENT LUSTER AND AN ABSENCE OF POST-PRODUCTION MARKS......BUT THEN AGAIN, WHO ISN'T?

EYE APPEAL IS SO SUBJECTIVE THAT I CANNOT PUT AN EXACT DEFINITION ON IT.

NOW I BOUGHT MY FIRST "STAR" COIN TODAY: 1941S MERCURY DIME, NGC GRADED MS 67*FB.

AFTER EXAMINING IT I CAN NOW SAY THAT OUTSTANDING EYE APPEAL IN A COIN SHOULD TRIGGER A REACTION IN THE EYE( AND MIND) OF THE BEHOLDER. WHEN I HOLD THIS COIN IN MY HAND I THINK OF A BYRONIC POEM OR A RACHMANINOFF SYMPHONY. I NOW UNDERSTAND EYE APPEAL BETTER AND THIS COIN HAS TAKEN ME TO A NEW LEVEL OF APPRECIATION FOR THIS "HOBBY OF KINGS".

I WISH I COULD SHARE THE EXPERIENCE BUT I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO UPLOAD IMAGES. WHEN I MANAGE THAT SKILL I WILL SHARE THE IMAGE/EXPERIENCE WITH EVERYONE.
