Exceptional iridescent peripheral toning! Sharp devices with prominent high point details. The fields are smooth and shine with brilliance! Unupgradeable! Someone hand me a gold sticker. This IS The Last Word! RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fine specimen! And it's got a less assertive curlicue 2 -- but it's there! Both minted in the same place? They both share a muted U in UNUM. Shared DNA. Have either of you thought of encapsulation? These coins are nearly 200 years old! NICE SHOW, GUYS!

Henri Charriere Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The lightning strike, rather than detracting or distracting from, gives this piece its unique character emphasizing its squeaky, unusually strong strike points.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Rather than detracting or distracting viewers with its unusually strong strike points, the random lightning bolt only emphasizes the coin's unique character and worthiness to be included among the greats.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
