Post a clipped coin in honor of the lunar eclipse tonight

Starting around 7:32 PST, should be a total eclipse in Cali (don't worry California residents, the moon is not being taxed out of existence).

    Sweet! Thanks for the post. I'd post on the thread, but I've never owned a clipped planchet coin.

    Thanks! San Diego, phone lens held to telescope eyepiece, blue moon filter. Too bad the sky is so hazy and overcast. In totality now!

    It was clear here for the viewing... No pictures (surprise, surprise), but only checked out the blood moon... did not watch the eclipse... have seen those before. Cheers, RickO

    No pictures either, but I saw it around midnight and it was very red! So incredibly cool!

    Red, and when in partial eclipse the arc was quite flat.

    Shouldn't that be a blank obverse since it was a total eclipse?

    The eclipsed moon at perigee has a dark to light copper color varying with depth of the umbra, position, and aerosols in earth's atmosphere. There's no connection to wolves, blood, roasted turnips, or other tabloid terms.

    Thank you, Baley. We had sub-zero temps here last night so the sky was crystal clear.

    Pretty amazing results, was that just a dip in acetone or did you send it in for conservation?

    Thanks @Ownerofawheatiehorde ! I've posted this coin before. I got lucky with it. First an acetone bath then Verdicare.

    I think it's a double clip.

    Although it's a foreign coin, thought I would post it here. I found it in a junk bin.
