Thanks WestCoin!
I anticipated it being darker in hand as well. From my experience most bust coins toned like this, and most
Seated coins toned like this, are often somewhat dark without proper lighting. That being said it is very attractive all the same.
The walker is really nice, the toning is subtle but only serves to highlight the coin while the luster and strike really carry the coin. Considering I paid under sheet value for it I think I did excellent on it.
Also, pending a final coin being delivered I'll have another denomination ready to showcase next week, and a third denomination the week after. I'm definitely making progress.
