The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 12:04 pm Color blind, too. I really haven't had a need to see numbers in dots in the last 50 years, so no big deal. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 12:33 pm I really like this topic. Years ago when mom took me to the doctor she lamented that I could not see colors normally. He replied: "He can see colors that we cannot see." Report this Post to the Staff
wayforwarded New Member 47 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 12:45 pm The colour blindness gene actually goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, when mammals only came out at night when it was more safe. There was no need to see colour in the dark. At least us colour blind people have better night vision when we walk around in the dark in the house in the middle of the night...

matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 12:54 pm I did not know that, wayforwarded, but it makes absolute sense. Mammals, when it was safe to go out in the daylight, probably did not do too well at first. Those "abnormal" ones with a sense of color survived better and passed on the ability. But the recessive gene for color blindness remains to this day. Report this Post to the Staff
matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 1:33 pm Some years ago I sent this in to ANACS. It came back MS-63. I always thought that it was ugly and yet people have remarked that the colors are interesting. From the photos, can any one with normal vision tell me what are colors that he or she she sees? I have always felt sad that I am not able to see the colors. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12847 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 5:52 pm I see some nice goldish/yellowish toning on the obverse, particularly near the perimeter of the coin at the bottom. Report this Post to the Staff
