    If he did, it would fit really well. Nice and colourful. Strike is great too. Is that a break in the field at 1:00?

    Coin may actually be a proof with weak mirrors,but at the least,semi- PL.That would explain the toning better as well.Either way i am thrilled to own it.image

    Sorry, I do not like that color at all. I'm surprised the coin got slabbed.

  • That's an unusual looking coin, but if it's original (and it may well be) it's terrific !!!image

    As a 66RB looks to be undergraded if anything. I see some of those NGC MS67BN large cents and have to shake my head.

    While the color is unusual I would have bought it as well. But that doesn't mean I would unconditionally state the color is 100% NT.
    Copper coloration is not one of my strong areas. First impression is "neat."

  • ElcontadorElcontador Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The good news for the owner of that coin is that it is in an old slab. While it is very colorful, I still wouldn't want it. JMHO.

    Old fatty slab = stable coin.

    If you like the color, it has a good chance that it will looking like that with proper storage.

    Beautiful coin, Lloyd! Love the fatty it's in, maybe undergraded and most likely nt. image

    Dang Lloyd,I'd love to see your collection in person someday!

    Hayden, you'd better start buying the depends right now. I had the privilege of seeing part of Lloyds collection, and it is amazing. imageimageimage

    I'm amazed at the negativity about this coin. I think it's incredible. Looks like a proof! I'd love to own it.

    Who cares? You people get SO hung up on one service's opinion. I keep telling you a monopoly in the coin certification business IS NOT to your advantage. Monopolies are NEVER good for consumers when there are opportunities for market competition.

    Its a beautiful coin, but I'd have to call it QT (questionable toning).

    An Intercept Shield won't save you if the coin has chemical cleaning crud on it. An old slab is a better indicator of stability than any chemical preservation device.

    We sold it and it is toned. That seems to be enough to start controversy. image

    In this case it is one of those unusual case where it does not matter if the coin is “processed” or natural. If it was “processed” the “process” worked. The coin is attractive, and since it’s in an old holder, it has a reasonable chance of staying that way.

    So, you'd say that it is "market acceptable" (hopefully I don't stir up any rightious indignation with that comment)

    Without seeing it in person, I can't say that it has been "processed." It could be 100% original. But with coins with this look, a bit of work can't be ruled out. Still it looks very attractive and it should stay that way. So I don't see a problem with it.

    The old fatty holder holder was what made the buy a no brainer to me.Finest large cent i have ever seen.Bill,you are so right about the plastic.NGC has graded some world class collections as well as PCGS BTW,for those PCGS fans.I always buy the coin,not the holder.image
