Obverse is quite nice, but IMO the reverse totally destroys the coin's desirability. I just don't like that mottled toning look at all.

I'll be honest, I do not like that reverse. The obverse is great, if there is plenty of strong luster underneath to give it a good flash. I'm guessing this is mint set toning, based on the crackly appearance of the reverse. I will say though, unreservedly, that I like the blues and greens right around his head.

I'll have to go with the majority so far. I love the toning & luster on the obverse. There is some nice toning on the reverse below the mottled pattern. The mottling definitely detracts from the eye appeal, but overall I like the coin

[robec1347]

I agree, I was really let down when I turned it over. If only.......

[physics-fan3.14]

What is it graded, by the way? I'm guessing 66, but I hesitate to call it any higher than 65 due both to the negative eye appeal of the reverse, and the extremely thick toning is almost assuredly hiding quite a number of marks.

You would ask that Jason. I should have written it down, but didn't. I believe it was in an Anacs holder and was probably 66. I'm sure that if Jack is following this he may chime in. I just mailed them back this morning.

I like it. The obverse looks great with the toning and the reverse???, but all and all It would look nice in my washington collection.

im guessing the army green/navy rev. upper left is lighter/ more true, less washed out in person. i really like the multicolored speckling in the lower right half. i have a '57 from mr. kryptonite w/ same halfed/ lower right multi color dots, 1 of my favorite toners.

It's pretty much as the image shows. If anything it may be darker. I have 3 lights on it and it is brighter (if that is the word) than it shows in hand. The star of the coin is definitely the obverse. The area that you refer to in the lower right is the nicest part of the reverse. Under certain light conditions that area does appear neon.
