    beautiful....I don't have any commems as of yet, but I have to say that one is my favorite. It truly is a piece of art.

    No. It is an ANACS holder.

    While I like the coin, I'm hope you got it at a discount. Dark toning of that type is not what the "market" wants.

    It's a beautiful coin with that brown toning. While it certainly isn't "rainbow", I don't feel that it warrented a discount. I like it.

    I think thats a great coin and I seek out darkly toned commems. They are kinda hard to find as most dealers dip them before submitting them to TPG's. And of course the wildly toned ones will bring a premium. Good job on your find! Take care, SoCalBigMark

    It's a good thing the "market" wasn't interested. That fact made me the new owner; and "I" like itimage

    It's a nice one. I don't like toning so much either, but if it is for an album a type set or what have you...hey, it's perfect in RAW form.



    and I loved this response :

    I actually like the look of it more than any of the white ones and even some of the rainbow ones I've seen.
