FUN purchase

[MJ]

This was a coin I always coveted (1994 Rotherberger catalog cover). I had a chance to pick it up fingerprint and all and I didn't hesitate. I did have it

reverse holdered. MJ

This is the most eye appealing Roanoke commemorative half dollar that I have seen. Let me guess, MS67?

[messydesk]

Nice!

Beautiful !!!

 

Congratulations on picking up one that you really wanted.

 

We've probably all had our share of the "ones that got away" so to get this one must be very satisfying for you.

And it looks even better in person.

That is pretty !

Thank you. Yes, coinman it is a 67. The surfaces are in my opinion a 68 but the fingerprint limits it to a 67 IMO. The grade was not a factor one way or the other in my decision to make this purchase.

 

Mark I'm glad you got to see it.

I can only imagine, especially if the luster is strong enough to make the coin "pop" even more than the True View photograph reveals.

All I can say is WOW!!! (thumbs u

That reverse is stunning! The red and orange and purple combine to make an amazing coin. If the luster really pops, I'll bet that coin is amazing in hand!

 

This is one coin that I would buy despite the fingerprint, although I still think the grade should be limited to 66 because of it. Its a light fingerprint that incorporates well into the toning pattern on the obverse, so that is isn't as prominent as some other fingerprints.

The reverse has some of the thickest toning I save ever seen

The surface of the coin can easily be seen through the reverse toning. Toning is frequently much thicker than that.

The thickest toning will appear brown to black. Silver sulfide is naturally a dark brown substance, it is only when there is a very thin film (up to about a thousand nanometers thick) that you will see color.

Great Balls of Fire!! That's nice!
