    I’m not fond of the spots.

    toning doesn’t look natural to me

    Fingerprint on obverse?

    I wonder whose DNA is on those pawprints on the obverse?

    I wouldn’t kick it out of my collection. I find it very attractive 👌🏻

  • JimTylerJimTyler Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Even if those aren't fingerprints they look like fingerprints so no.

  • CatbertCatbert Posts: 7,594 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.

  • vplitevplite Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭

    I have not seen many nicer than that, but the spots bring it down.

    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.

    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.

    The 3 posted by yosclimber are 3 different varieties.

    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.

    That one is very pretty and I really like the sunset toning - but I'm quite fond of this one that happens to be in my personal collection....

    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

    I like them all!
