The middle one is the S5, owned by Tom Fore I believe - great guy who died way too young. Had one of the greatest FE Collections both in quality and depth.

I am a big fan of your collection and always enjoy your pictures and input In topics. @KollectorKing great coin and much nicer then anything I have. I like the Sunset and the texture is also appealing. Thanks for sharing.
This is first time I heard this term and it is fitting and I agree on that point. While finding copper I noticed on some spots that Would just grab my attention and they cannot be removed in any manner without harm to coin. In the Coin picture here I didn’t see anything too disturbing to me. But I appreciate your comments as they lead to more research from my end. Thanks.
Beautiful FE cents......It was a great design...I wish they would bring it back... though zinc cents are not a worthy candidate.....they deteriorate much too fast.... and copper is not coming back - cost too high. Cheers, RickO

OK - it isn't.
I’m not fond of the spots.
toning doesn’t look natural to me
You said it.
Fingerprint on obverse?
I wonder whose DNA is on those pawprints on the obverse?
It's very nice.

I like most of it just saying
I wouldn’t kick it out of my collection. I find it very attractive 👌🏻
I don't like fingerprints on my coins. I'll pass.
How about we look at the actual TruView?
Even if those aren't fingerprints they look like fingerprints so no.
I think the picture is attractive.
Naw. The "6" is too big. I'll wait and find one with a normal looking 6 in the date.
I have not seen many nicer than that, but the spots bring it down.
I thought the one in Legend Auctions a while back was stunning
Not even close. I think a forum member owns one that puts it to shame. If so, maybe he will see this thread and post it.

If only I had the money....
I don't like fingerprints, especially on a more expensive piece.

Some of us can only dream of that coin, fingerprint or not. Damn I'd be happy with an AG3.

Carbon flecks bug me.

I do believe that coin presents itself well.
