Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 9:16 pm This was kind of a big purchase. Let me know what you think positive OR negative. Some will say they hate the color, some will say they don't like the very weak C and some will love this coin as I do. I don't get offended and am still learning so all opinions welcomed as always. I dont have great photos of this coin and these are all from my cell phone in my usual set up. I assure you the colors are accurate under the light and I have absolutely not corrected or tampered with them aside from cropping. This won the Scotsman Catalogers Choice award when it was auctioned in 7/15. It arrived in my hands today. Edited by Jon Brand 06/06/2018 9:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 9:38 pm I like the color/toning. When they say Weak C they're not kidding. I see you got it on ebay for a good price. Well done. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 10:00 pm BH I didn't get it on ebay. Would be curious if you could send me a PM/email and show me. I am not sure where the seller got it, maybe it was ebay though. Report this Post to the Staff
