TBR Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 08/12/2018 09:54 am As you can see, this coin has a black patina. I found out that sometimes closer isn't better. Here is another (normal color) 69D with apparently missing FG, but when I backed off the camera, I could see the FG. Made me wonder how much else I was missing like that. First the close-up, which is what I saw first. It is the SAME 69D coin in all three photos. That is the way I saw it. Besides the missing FG, wondered what you thought of the black patina in the first. Hate it? Report this Post to the Staff

I don't like the look.Also,the upper left is missing on the roof but the right side is still there. To me it is a spender. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

To me it's not a collectible, but I'm a variety coin purist. I prefer earlier die state coins. Even on varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
