Bought this little gal seveal months ago at the Legend Philly Regency sale. Finally had a chance to have Todd shoot it at LB.
Low mintage of 1636 pieces but these were saved so gem examples are out there. I really liked the looks of this one

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

in all honesty, I believe most of the positive comments are based in two things --- respect for the member who posted it and the insert above the coin. posted as a raw coin by any number of other members with a question of "What do you think" and there would probably have been some criticism.
I don't think the picture shows an attractive coin.
@keets
I think you're in the minority here, sticker, slab, OP, or whatever. It looks like a pretty nice coin to me.
An Inferno of eye appeal. Well done.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Just jaw-dropping, Mark. A great coin.
You will never be sorry buying superb specimens like this.

That is an attractive gold coin....Though I cannot determine how much of the surface is luster and how much is a dark coloration....maybe none of it....a very nice strike on that little piece of gold.... Cheers, RickO
Really like that one. I need to keep reminding myself to try to hold out for coins of that quality. Usually don't succeed, though.
I like those gold dollars anyway, but yours is: WOW!!

What a beauty! Great looking original skin/color!!! Congratulations!
The auction description says "Fully Prooflike." It must really be something in hand!
Superb luster and color.
It gets your attention in a good way
Thanks all for the comments. It’s always appreciated. Great community

Wow - what's not to like??
there would probably have been some criticism.
One person for sure.
sorry, Wabbit, I just call 'em like I see 'em, a trait you're more than familiar with. I'll hold my tongue the next time you so eloquently criticize.
It’s fine boys. Everyone has an opinion and everyone is wired differently. My feelings aren’t hurt in the least.
To be honest I’m humbled by the 50 likes.
