It's a monster all right, just not in a good way

Scary Monster

That is one ugly tarnished ( oops, I meant, toned) coin

ugly monsters don't go gem, photo must be poor

I understand the negative responses to this coin and image, but I imagine that with good light and the coin in-hand that it must have deep, rich orange and amber (brown) with green highlights. In that way, it might be a very cool coin to own and examine, but I would not term it a popular monster.

Maybe it's just the photos but it looks like something died inside the slab atop the coin

LindeDad · December 17, 2015 3:02AM

Bet it is just turned dip in the slab.

Not for me.

I'd imagine it is an end-roll coin.

In a open ended crimped edge roll as only the areas exposed to oxygen toned.

That's not a "monster". I'd liken that more to being a "Shrek".

When considering toned coins one must distinguish between a monster and a monstrosity; being aware that a bad photo can make the former look like the latter.

Definitely crusty. Almost looks like you could loosen it on one edge and peel that all off.

jerseycat101 · December 17, 2015 4:47AM

I am willing to bet that that photo is not doing the coin justice, and that it is brighter and much more eye appealing in question.

MonsterCoinz · December 17, 2015 5:02AM

I like it.

The colors might actually be nice on this coin. I'm just not crazy about their location.

OK guys but I had to have some reason for not buying it last week.

Settled on this.

I'm thinking the guy's photo skills are similar to mine, and that the coin looks better in hand.

Looks intriguing to me.

First of all, Kennedys are like Peace dollars for toning, so anything remotely nice gets attention.
