Cool. Remember when you could buy monster toners like that at coin shows for 10-20% over greysheet, and relatively few people cared about collecting them? I passed on a few like that during the mid 1990's, and they had very little premium attached to them at the time. D'Oh.

Yeah, that was about the same time they were getting dipped for the blast white fad. Gorgeous annular album toned original seated especially. Even a little tasteful rim toning was like a fingerprint to some in the herd then; still is for a few I bet. SO many coins wrecked hten and again now with retoning AT.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."
It would be interesting to see a scan of this coin using the same technique that produced the neon fluorescent image of the 1904-O, and compare them. It would also be interesting to see ordinary photos of each coin, such as PCGS True View images. Both coins are very nice.
