Reverse

Very weakly struck with alot of contact marks.

Thanks Cameron. I guess I should say that it is an AU. I am really wondering a little bit about the color too.

It's an artificially toned POS! Is that easyman's or aswimmer's work?

Hehe, just kidding! I think it's rather attractive.

I'm thinking AU, too. Just too many marks.

Colors are pretty, AU-50 sounds about right.

Stujoe,

I like the colors very much. Attractive, without being overwhelming. Something interesting that keeps the eye happy for a while as it looks the coin over.

Nice!

I picked it up at a show about 6 months ago as I was cruising the 2x2 binders for color. I bought it for the reverse which actually has pretty nice lustre and I love golden to light brown toning on nickel. It is a sickness.
I thought the obverse coloring was a little odd but sort of nice but I still don't know if I really like it or not. You get it in the right light and the colors are yellow and blue with a tinting of reddish purple in areas. It is kind of different anyway.
I would almost call the obverse an EF-48.5 and the reverse a nice 50 becaue of the lustre but, as Cameron pointed out, it is weakly struck, also.
Thanks for the opinions.
