    Heavy toning and looks pretty cool. I like it.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    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.

    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

    Wow... I would not have thought that was a 66.... well, based on the reverse actually.... Cheers, RickO

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

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

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

    Thanks Ricko! I appreciate and respect your opinions. Not many marks and I thought that was were you were going.

    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.

    At first glance, I would have passed, though though a couple days later after first viewing it, I really took a liking to it.
