New toned Commem. WC: Will it look better or worse in hand??

Curious to hear some opinions on what I can expect of this toner Wash-Carver. I won this on TT and am not sure what to expect when in hand. I don't trust their pics but hope to be impressed and not depressed! Opinions?? The reverse is white.

  • Is that a scratch on the obverse or is it the result of the toning pattern? Regardless. the piece doesn't strike me as something that I would be enthralled to own.

    That's not a BTW, but instead, a Carver-Washington, or CW image but commonly referred to as WCs.

    I like it. But I like all Bookers and Carvers. Cool coin. What's the reverse look like? (Besides it being white image)

    I think it will be more lively than the image might suggest.

    The top picture is the seller's pictures of a set of 1951 C/W's I bought several years ago. The bottom two are my pictures of the 51-P, the left coin in the seller's picture. I think you will be pleasantly surprised on how the coin looks in hand. I love C/W's and BTW's also. Here's to hoping you are not dissapointed.
