    Klippes are cool.

    Klippes with nice toning are even more awesome.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    What am I, chopped liver?!?

    BTW, was that from Greg's recent auction? Nice looking coin. If I were adding stickers to coins, that would get the EVP sticker.

    Oooo, nice EVP sticker image Nice klippe. Guidobald! What a great name. If we ever get a pet, I'll have to put my foot down and name him Guidobald (Guido for short).

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the toning on this. I especially like how the features are clear and clean, but there is some darkness on a couple klippe corners, so it still feels like it belongs in the time period, despite its pristine beauty. Great originality is what I'm saying!
