I bet this one is more colorful in hand... UPDATED WITH PICS

Did a drive-by on eBay tonight and won this for the outrageous sum of $46 shipped.

I'm willing to bet there's some interesting color hidden within the devices...

You'll know for sure in couple of weeks. I have bought coins from this seller hoping their images were lacking in actual color. Not so. I hope you do better.

Actually I like muted darker toning like that. I think I have won a couple from that seller, not sure what the sticker is all about though, as I recall I had no issues with the ones I got.

I agree JCM. It looks pretty nice just the way it is. I almost bid on that coin myself were it not for the bill I just got from Heritage.

Yeah, I figured there's a possibility it's as muted as the pictures implied, but I figured it's worth a gamble. After all, it's not like there's a huge downside risk.

The Story on WINGS

Can't find an internet presence, but apparently they have stickers... now as to what exactly those stickers mean, other than "we've got a bunch of shiny stickers", I have no idea.

The coin arrived today. From a technical grading standpoint, I think NGC overgraded the coin, but from a character/eye appeal standpoint, I love the piece!
