HOT HOT coin show NEWP! Sizzling commemorative! Nuclear!

Russ

Picked up this Stone Mountain at a show today.



Okay, so it's not hot or nuclear. Matter of fact, these are downright common. But most of the ones I see at shows are bleached bone white and just don't look good to me. This one has a nice original patina with plenty of luster and dashes of lavender. It was sitting in the dealer's case right next to a blinding white one and there was simply no comparison. Cool thing is, he wanted less for this one then the other.

That is a beautiful design. If you don't want it, I'll take it!!

Nice pickup - how much was it?

Nice choice, Russ.

I have a nice toned one as well. Although I don't see why a yank like you would want a coin with General Lee on it.

I like the fields...nice and clean, lustrous. I don't see any dings, really.

Since you have it in hand, Russ, what would you grade the coin?

Because I'm a politically incorrect yank.

I WAG it at MS64. Strike looks a little weak to me. BUT, I really don't know how to grade these. I just like the way they look.

Those Stone Mountains are really good looking coins. That's a nice example....Ken

Looks a lot like the toned XF/ AUish one you have posted in the past only with more luster and no rub, so I guess you wont need that old circ one and can mail it to me

Yes, it looks nice. I saw several in a dealers case that have been overdipped and hairlined. This one is much nicer. I like the design too. Some of the Comms are just ugly.

careful Russ, if you put this for sale on Ebay you might get certain people upset with you.
