Not my coin (Yet?), or photo. How distracting do you feel the carbon spot on the reverse is? I love the colors!!! Thanks, Lee

Distracting.
But the beautiful toning and other attributes of the piece compensate for that.

on a scale of 1-10, i'd give it a 3. The overall look of the coin makes up for the spot.

Could that green spec infront of his chin be PVC deposit?

That spot would not have kept me from buying it, either.
The colors are awesome

Thanks Guys!! I agree the spot is distracting but not obsessively so. It kind of blends in. Can NCS fix it maybe without ruining the overall coin and destroying the colors? Thanks, Lee

That, I don't know. I've never sent anything to them.
I think I'd ask 'em about it, though.

Hooker's schnoz is he most distracting element of the piece.

I wondered about NCS, too, but didn't mention it, because I'd be afraid to roll the dice on that one. But who knows?

Its pretty, the toning goes along way to offsetting the carbon spotting. I'd rate a 3-4 on the 10 scale too.

Nice coin - I would get it if you really like it - the toning is very purdy!
