Quote: There's something about the brass look of old gold that commands my attention. Won't see those for sale every month.
Yes, a very elegant coin and in good shape but imagine had it been put in a collection and not rubbed as it was ? Don't get me wrong, the handling are badges of honor, but I'd love to see just a tad more of the reverse strike. Most of all with the obverse strike being so clean and impressive.
I agree about the "look" of the old gold preference. Very sublte and elegant , commanding attention.
