lots of Columbians lately-what do you think of this one?

the 3rd commem in my dansco. Do you like the toning? Is there any evidence that this colud have retoned in an album after a light cleaning a long time ago? Or by the looks of the pic does it look more original?

    It's a nice original coin IMO, but it's not going to win any really big prizes for high grade or exceptional toning. I'd grade it MS-63 or 64 from the photo. If it has more luster than it appears to have, it would be a 63; if it has more, 64.

    Here's the coin that in my commemorative type set. It is one of the best toned coins that I own. It's in an green label PCGS MS-63. Years ago the dealer from whom I purchased tried and tried to get it to grade higher, but never could. I paid a premium for it just the same.

    I just love this coin and both the ones shown are beautiful. I have one myself, a very circulated one that I carry around or just leave on my desk. It's worth about $10 I think but it is really a fun coin.
