Beautiful SLQ!
Can you tell me what the adjectives "semi-crusty" and "crispy" mean? I am not experienced enough with coins to be "up on the lingo!" ;)

Crusty is usually heavy tarnish or black growth stuff and crispy is just a term I made up for her (for lack of a better word)..  ..She is neither. Toned? Original? Wholesome, maybe better? Some may say the toning (tarnish) gives her a "cameo" (contrasting) look.

Very nice circulation cameo! That thing is dripping with eye appeal. I agree with 30.
