    GREAT coin Michael- and what your SCAN doesn't show, and can't, is the attractive mirrors I bet are under that terrific toning!

    Some of the best looking coins are the color Indians. Thanks for the look.

    Beautiful coin. It's amazing what those Coppers can become.

    Wow... If an e-bay seller had that raw, I'd be sure it was spray paint. But seeing it has passed the test of NGC and Michael, very impressive!

    thanks for all the great responses!

    the mirrors are super deep which is not shown in the scans you are absolutely right pat-braddick!

    i showed this coin to a few friends who know nothing about coins and they loved this piece as it jumped out at them at any angle and in any light sourse and they told me that they would like to break this coin out of its holder and put in a pendant around their neck! as it is so flashy!...........lol............not

    That IS a beauty!


    I regret selling this one off about a year and a half ago. It would fit in with my current collecting focus: pre-1900 proofs. (I now have a collection comprised of three coins.)

    This one was ANACS PR62 RB.
