    I prefer a more lustrous pastel toning on Standing Liberty quarters.
    That cat's eye tone is a bit dark and crusty for my taste.

    Otherwise, outstanding detail.

    This MS66 20-P and it's sister coin both crossed Heritage earlier this year, both in non S.P. PCGS MS66 holders.

    This SLQ was worth more IMHO prior to being S.P.'d without being PQ enough for plus.

    As it hammered high at Heritage IMHO in hopes of MS67 image

    Incredible detail but the toning is too severe for my taste. Still, the colors and toning pattern are very attractive.

    Am I the only one that thinks the image of the coin looks terrible from a photo standpoint? I'd be completely uninterested for half of that money.

    Interesing coin with very dramatic toning. I believe this was sold by Heritage recently. I haven't seen the coin in-hand, but it appears to be too darkly burnt to hold much luster over quite a bit of the surfaces.

    I saw it before it got into its current holder. Not my style. Imo the coin will grow moss on its north side before the seller gets that kind of money for it. 20 Ps often come hammered in FH, and aren't all that scarce. The toning on this coin imo is not considered to be universally attractive, either.

    +1

    Those scans don't do the coin justice, and Shane taught me how to read them toned images using his kryptonite x-ray vision.... I'm betting stunner!

    But the price tag isn't to "stunning" IMO.

    Hard to judge via picture but it looks too dark.

    What a shame... a beautiful coin tarnished beyond redemption. Sorry to see that happen to such a coin. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like the type of toning found on many of the Benson coins from Goldberg's "Benson" sales in 2001.
