yep, the toning (something I don't like anyway) is fading fast. And yes, that ugly print is almost gone.  Too difficult to tell if the design elements are wearing down though. |

Would be interesting to lodge an ASE in the inner workings of an idustrial dryer. Would make a heck of a Dryer Coin... |

Interesting. Didn't take long to wear off most of the dark toning and all of that palm print. Now you're starting to see a bit of wear on the high points and small marks in the fields. It'll be interesting to see how it continues to progress.

I agree, All the ugly is gone now, but at the expense of details too. But that is what this is for. |

My preference also is for ASE's that present with a blast white color, irrespective of condition. I can understand why this coin could be used as a pocket piece. It is OK as a pocket piece, but for most of the Public, who only have a lesser appreciation for numismatics, crown sized coins didn't circulate much, because they weighed too much, and were too big to be regularly carried in pockets. That got me to thinking: How about a common date Mercury set in a removable bezel, and carried on a key ring? Would still make an interesting item for talking about, and hopefully enticing a new individual to the interesting hobby of coin collecting |

Hmmmm...you must carry her when you get all dressed up in your Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes!  I was expecting more scratches. So far, well, so good! |
