What do you suppose causes the white part around the stars and date??
Just curious as I have seen other toned coins and have noticed similar effects.
Thanks

<< <i>That's amazing! what does the reverse look like? >>
Some babe in a bikini.
What's it worth? The owner told me it wasn't for sale...... I offered him $10,000 to start....he moved towards the coin, slowly
and gingerly removed it from my hands and slowly backed away, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on mine the whole time. He never even countered me. I suspect he's also never been forked in chess.
The reverse? Like my three years old's butt. White and clean.
White areas around stars and date -- little hidden caves under the overhanging stars, safe and secure from all sulphur molecules. Pristine......a testimony to the coin's virginity.
(GSAGUY - I knew I could elicit a strike from you with that one.....you best fess up.)
My lips are sealed.
I've played a lot of chess, have even lost a game or two, but can't say I've ever been forked. What is it?
GSAGUY
P.S. Nice photography, does that piece look as nice in person?
It essentially only happens when you don't anticipate and prevent (my moving one of your pieces) the scenario from occurring.
In other words, if you had countered my offer of 10K with 15K, I would have been able to say "accepted"....... and then you loose a piece.
(oops!)
It looks as good in hand as it does on your monitor. On your monitor, not Cointoast's. He still has one of those green monichrome screens.
I think I have seen that coin in person........during an evening of good conversation and great food. If I remember the luster under the color was flawless.

You were wrong, I have been forked in chess....................I just try to avoid it in coins.
GSAGUY
When I saw you'd posted, I'd have bet $1000 you'd be spanking the monkey!
GSAGUY
Hahahahaha, I'm gaining a reputation! Although I'm not sure it's such a good thing in this case...
I think the ol "fap fap fap" and "unf unf unf" was getting old, so I'm trying to find some new responses.
BTW, I could beat ANACONDA or gsaguy in chess blindfolded and quite easily.

Keep that up and you'll be like that box of chocolates.......never knowing what we're going to get.

"You're probably right."
That's what I say to my wife, all the time.
anaconda
Yea, you're probably right, but I bet I could beat you in chest.
GSAGUY
Anaconda, I would roll you like a joint, don't even go there.
gsaguy, I'm not familiar with chest,,,,please explain, is that a board game?
dragon
Wicked coin though....
See what I mean, it'd be a cake walk!
GSAGUY
back a little bit and quivering......you're ready grapple with the anaconda...see some anaconda guts at your feet......yeah baby!
Well, I want ya' ta know, I'll be slippin' off, actin' like I'm outa here, you'll relax just a little bit, and then WHAM! Anaconda teeth on the throat.
Growing chest pains. Breathing more difficult.....can't inhale. Darkness. Silence. Peace. No more blisters on your lips. No more knight under your fingernails. Just growing wetness around your snout as I have you for my lunch.
Cointoast. I have no questions about your education. Your education is demonstrated on these boards eveytime you hit the reply button.
There are no unanswered questions.
snake
I know this coin!!!
Is it cert #21139499?
PM me.
dragon
PS: Anaconda, you shoulda been there when I handily defeated the 7th strongest Intl. Grandmaster in the world (at that time) and world champion Gary Kasparov's trainer, you woulda been proud........so what were you saying.........speak up please?

Dragon. Ok. I forfeit. Congrats. You beat me in no moves. Here's your trophy. Well at least your hands are a little clammy.
Hoping you and yours a great Xmass!!!!!!!
Thanks
Guys.

If the owner turned down $10K that means I'll never own it, so I'm glad I have a picture of it. Thanks.

Yeah some of these guys will do that to you.
If that one is giving you a chubby this one ought to atleast give you a semi. Its an 81-cc (yours is an 81-S?) in the GSA plastic, try and argue AT with this one. It's not a years wages (some people do make 10K-15K). either. You can own it.
If you get the blank box try refresh or maybe the link and then refresh, This thing it screwed up.
Jim, your link to your picture is not working.
