    It might be terminal, or it might be really nice. The luster in-hand would be key.

    It doesn't look terminal to me. I don't care for black beauties but I'm sure it's nice if you appreciate this sort of thing.

    I see I should go out and find all the bad images or dull that don't represent the coin very well. And if it's nice then sell it to the image connoisseurs around here. Oh yeah, especially the scans. Me thinks folks have got so spoiled with great images, and tweaked out images (but hey the color is there right:)) Or they grew up in this era and haven't possibly seen enough coins to try and figure out what what it might look like. I know this image makes it look dull but ya got to admit folks are indeed spoiled. But carry on. I just see folks always want to cherry-pick but don't see it for what it could be. Carry on.

    I know it's more fun for everybody to say on certain coins "I wouldn't pay that" Or it's a dark coin pass. Oh, please do block me on ebay.

    stman ducking :)
