    Best dark toning I have seen in quite a while, especially on one of the most beautiful American Coins.

    Try to find one of these in any grade. Tougher than you can imagine.

    Yep! Every Now and Then! I happen to live close by to Maceo, KY! Sadly the town store featured in this video burned down a couple years later :(

    Gorgeous coin... I was once told that deep bronze-brown toning on early AU-UNC type is a hallmark of truly unmolested surfaces, and this dollar might be one of the rare pieces that escaped manipulation

    @braddick ... Very interesting coin. What is the metal disturbance below her ear? Cheers, RickO

    That's a beaut!
    I love how it almost looks like a copper pattern

    As Bowers from Bowers & Merena Galleries used to respond when a collector would point out a flaw on a coin
    he was selling, "it is a way of determining your coin from all others."
