It is a beautiful coin. It is much prettier then his scan showed it. The coin has viberant blue toning. I think it was the best $3.50 I could have spent. Here are my pics but the coin looks much better then even these pics show. What do you think of it?

X2 on that one! Great buy!

PS: What size is that coin? I picture it about the size of a dime.

The coins is the size of a quarter, Jeff. When I bought it I was expecting it do be as big as a dime. So I guess we were both wrong.

A beautiful coin!

I have a couple of the one Mark coins from the early teens that have toned equally nicely.

Very pretty. Those 1 Marks can come very nicely toned. If I remember correctly, wasn't there also an issue of these that was turned dark black before being released into circulation in order to discourage hoarding of silver coin?
