I thought this coin was attractive so I bought it! Your thoughts?

I really like it!

Heavy toning and looks pretty cool. I like it.

I think it is attractive as well and love the 'cameo effect' caused by the toning

Sweet! I love the toning on many Long Island commemoratives.

Very attractive coin........I especially like the reverse. Are you going to submit it based upon all of the positive vibes you are getting here on this forum?

I like it - the toning reminds me of a fine Merlot.

Very nice, l like it !!!

Not my type of coin. Really don't like "splotchiness" at 10 o'clock on the reverse. I know it gives the coin unique history, but I just don't like the look, to be honest. more important if u like it Thanks rln

Thanks for the comment. What about the reverse gives you pause at the 66 grade?

@ironmanl63...The picture seems to indicate more wear (on the ship and the motto) than would be appropriate for an MS66.
Cheers, RickO

My sense is the luster on the reverse is much more flashy than the photo indicates, given the MS66 grade.

I hope so. I have not seen the coin in hand but really liked the look from the photos.
