Ike and barbeque

I have this coin aging nicely, the silver has developed a slight yellowing to it so far.
What is pretty neat, at least I think so, is the unique toning effect on IKE's face.
It looks like he's been pigging out on barbeque buffaloe wings.
Maybe I'll get a nice bit of reddish color in there eventually.image

    Looks like Ike needs to wash down those wings with a couple of cold brews. imageimage
  • That looks nasty. Is it in a PCGS holder?? I'd be pissed if it was!!!

    Also, if that 78-S is silver, you must have the only one!!
  • Yes I am very proud to have had PCGS slab it for me too.
    It isn't silver like you stated, my bad.

  • I cracked out a few Ikes from their brown boxes and dipped them because of that brown staining. I think it looks atrocious. Maybe years from now it might develop into a nice color, but in the early stages I think it just looks dirty.

    A thing of beauty is a joy for ever
