  Nice pickup. I like the reverse coloring around the mintmark area.

  An some point, an "upgraded widget" becomes a non-widget. I'm not sure where the line is drawn, however.

  One collector's widget is another's pride and joy.

  I think the obverse toning is pretty neat too.

  To some, it may be a widget... to others, it can be a treasure. I saw a man at a gun show once, and he was so proud of a 1916 D dime he bought there at the show for $300... and it was, IMO, a VF35...maybe a tad better..... He stopped at all the tables saying..."Look what I just got."... Most people did not know it was a valuable coin... but he had hit the jackpot. Cheers, RickO
