That's an incredible example.

My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

Why would you mess with that old stuff when you could have a new silver eagle in MS70???

Thats a beautiful example of a timeless American Classic. Don't ever let it go.

This one does not have the pretty toning, but perhaps you can see some difference in design detail. LeeG's picture of Isabella of Castile certainly shows a far more attractive lady than what is pictured on the coin. Age does make a difference.

Just the right amount of rim toning to show off the prooflike surfaces.
