So there i was, minding my own business, when I spotted this beauty. I snatched her up, and sent her in. I was expecting a 63, hoping for a plus. Guess I got a color bump!

I won't even justify this thread as being Ricko approved :D

MS 65 with tremendous color is typically the minimum for a monster.....will this one get a pass?

I've never named a coin before. I've got some ideas for this one tho....

Thoughts?

    It's toning is symmetrical.
    It reminds me of a kaleidoscope.
    So maybe Kaleido?
    Sounds Hawaiian too, right up your alley.

    Nice coin but your post confused me. Did it grade 65? Are you asking for a guess or just a possible name? "will this one get a pass?"

    I thought it would grade 63, maybe 63+ for the color. It got a 64 grade.

    Usually, it takes gem or better with awesome toning to be a really "monster" coin. So with only a 64 designation, does this coin pass the mustard, or fall short? Is it a "mini-monster" or just a "nicely toned coin?"

    I was thinking about a name for it. And you all giving great suggestions!!! Keep it up!

    I like it as a 64 actually. The strike is good too. You mean pass the muster right ? ;)
