    Looks solid brown to me. Lincolns can be a pain to capture the toning.

    Now that is really s t r e t c h i n g "rainbow" toning to a new level.

    Even by teletrade standards.image

    Why do you all think that?

    Cant you see the red, blue, purple, then to brown?

    Especially on the reverse - starts on at the lower left side. o_O

    well it may be "stretching" it - but it does have many colors, and they all go in some kind of order.
    red, orange, yellow, green, then blue, purple and finally brown.

    MrMag, I think your coin looks like it does have some really nice color, although the spots are unfortunate. It actually reminds me of the 46-D in my setimage

    note...this was imaged by mgoodm3, I'll bet yours would looks similar in terms of the color.
