Thanks. I wish you had it to image. This is the seller's image. It's iridescently toned in hand making the coin pop.

OhHeckYeah!!!
The toning behind the portrait and the eagle are almost surreal in their beauty and quality.
I've got to admit (and hate doing so publicly) I'm not a big fan of Ancients.
In many cases I find them crude and cartoonish.
This coin however... the strike, the art, the iridescent toning leave me awed and in love!!
