I said like...for what it is...it's not a coin that makes you say..."Wow, beautiful coin!" from the photo alone, but for what it is, a worn, circulated coin, I like it.
Some of the dislikes might change to likes, if a regular in-hand picture were posted. This image looks enhanced, whether by light angle or in photoshop, to bring out the color

The lighting angle may have enhanced the colors a little, but this is pretty close to what the coin looks like in-hand. The obverse is a little more emerald green around the portrait rather than the dark blue.
I really like the colors - I thought I wouldn't at first. I would certainly love to have an entire Bust Dime date set which looked like this!
Thanks for giving me your opinions y'all. I figured the ToneHeads would like it!
Overall, this coin will be replaced by a crusty example whenever one presents itself. This is just a [common] die marriage I have been aggressively searching for for 2-3 years now in VF, and I have not been able to find a problem-free example until now!

Like the piece...the lighting probably makes the tone hues seem brighter than they are.
I like it.
