    pretty neat, for what it is, I'd like to see real life type pictures vs a scan

    I think that design would've made a great $2.5 quarter eagle.

    These coins can acquire golden colored toning naturally, so I am not so sure that this coin is really a "no grade."

    Unfortunately the applicaition of the plating usually damages the surface. The coin might be a "no grade" even after the plating is removed.

    As for the toning comment, here is the piece that is in my collection.

    Thank you image I like it too.

    To put things into perspective, PCGS refused to grade the coin. NGC did grade it as an MS-64, which I thought was the correct grade.

    I once had NGC refuse to grade an 1839-O half dollar I had, but PCGS graded it, so things can to both ways.
