    I don't like it. It's too dark for my taste. Strike is a little soft and I don't like the fingerprint, either.

    From the images provided, I believe the obverse peripheral toning is a bit too burn into the coin and the reverse fingerprint too distracting. I also can't tell if it is AU or MS given the line down the center of the obverse. I guess I would think it's "okay", but I wouldn't stretch for it.

    I find it neutral, but I would rather have an original piece like this than a dipped out blast white example. I would still look for another example. I find the fingerprint distracting.

    If I was looking for "one coin" to represent the WLH....I'd probably pass on this one.

    But as part of a set, where some variety is not only expected, but desirable (to me)...I think I could find a place for this coin in my set.

    A picture's worth a thousand words. Elaborate why people think Amber Heard is beautiful. Sometimes you see and you like. Sometimes you see and don't like. To be candid, I think it looks fugly.

    googling Amber Heard...

    Johnny Depp is a fool.... but I too would pass on the coin.

    I find it extremely ugly and it looks as if it spent years in a latrine...The disgusting brown 'residues' look as if it requires decontamination prior to handling. If you think this is harsh, understand I deleted the first opinion and made it more diplomatic. ;) Cheers, RickO

    Hey Ricko, please don’t hold back. Can you tell us EXACTLY how you feel about the coin :o

    To me, the toning is somewhat unattractive.

    Too original in a bird-poopish semi-ED kind of way :s
    If not dippable, it's just gonna sit there looking like mud :/

    Your images look better than the ones in the OP. It reminds me of my 62 that I sold years ago. Flat with heavy Original toning and great Frosty luster. It’s a decent Coin but I stand behind my original comments.

    The two sets of images are "night and day". You should start the thread over. >:)

    As a collector, I'd be much more inclined to be attracted to it in its current state.
