    Personally, I like it. Not the most gorgeous toning I've seen, but nice enough that I'd prefer it over a blast white coin, even undipped.

    If the luster is typical, I'd say neutral. If it is very good luster I'd say neutral+.

    very nice toning! IMO

    This is a coin that I dont think a picture reflects how it looks in hand. With flat pic, the toning is so-so, but Ill bet in hand 3imensional with full luster, it looks quite nice!!

    About halfway between fugly and nice...Mike

    Could be a nice one. Pic too fuzzy to get a good feel for how the coin may look "In Hand".

    The toning is not worth a premium but it is still a coin I would consider buying

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    This reminds me of a toned Stander I have. It's irridescent colored and has all colors of the rainbow if you have the coin in hand and tilt it to see its cartwheel luster. However, an image would not reflect its color spectrum. I also think it's impossible for an image to reflect the actual luster of a coin such as this one.

    I agree with coinkat- I like the toning well enough, but I wouldn't pay a premium for it.....
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
