That is one fantastic looking "photo." Now the question is, in person, does that coin look like that from most of the different viewing angles? Since this is not a light colored coin you want to be sure it looks this monstrous in person before going for it. A monster coin should look good from most angles and in most types of lighting. A great photographer can take a dark but colorful coin and get enough light on it to make it appear super. Heritage has had the opposite problem with nearly all their scans making every coin look subpar. But I see that on the wonderful Kaufman proofs in their Long Beach sale they used a different technique (or the seller provided the scans) to make these coins look very good and probably more realistic than if they had used their same methods. Good job Heritage!

It's very nice. Too bad for the obverse fingerprint.

I think I could live with that fingerprint. That is one beautiful coin. I think I just changed my preference.

I think the toning is beautiful on this coin. Beautifully toned classic proofs are really starting to heat up. I can see these coins getting really expensive in a hurry.
