WHOA! Check out this wicked toned 1971-S proof! Ol' Ike looks as if he is infected with the Krippin Virus (KV) from the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend.

While I know that it isn't everyone's cup of tea, I find the toning pattern and color incredible. The reverse is pristine, with no hint of toning. The field area to the left of Ike's profile appears as finely cracked glass. This coin is wild.

I took some pics of the 2X2 flip before freeing the "infected". . . .

That's pretty crazy looking. I like it! Maybe I could send you some proofs to see how it is transmitted.


Then send them back and let's see how quickly we can create a pandemic.

Water droplets have been around this coin, to result in this type of toning.

Sounds like a plan I'd be down for.

Cool looking. Also looks like he could be a Borg drone (Star Trek reference) without the implants.
