this $5 indian do anything for you?

recently closed auction, I didn't feel the need to go past melt for it.... I'm sure it's interesting in hand.

not sure what draws the distinction between this and a colorized ASE, except it's GOLD and it was done by hand sometime in the past. I guess.

just sharin'

    lol... to be sure. but it doesn't hold some weird interest for you if it were a contemporary enameling?

    On a single-spaced, typewritten list of weird interest items, listed in decreasing order of my sense of urgency to spend money on them, I would first look for "Bad Contemporary Enameling" on page 6.

    Crayon or Magic-Marker? The seller should keep his collection away from his kids.

    At near melt you can't go wrong. If it were mine I'd use some acetone to conserve it. It certainly couldn't hurt it.

    $80 would have been a steal on that Bust Half. Enameled Bust coins go for hundreds of dollars.

    eye of the beholder. I think it went for 170+ juice so around 200. if the obverse didn't look like someone sprayed acid in her face i might have be tempted more...

    Not my taste at all, but what the heck for close to melt. Where I differ is I'd probably leave it as is, you could probably remove
    the color, but as is I think it's a somewhat more interesting conversation piece. I'd probably enjoy holding it in the palm of my hand,
    etc.

    How do you know that the seller didn't add the color a week before he put it on eBay?
