A little dark, but I like it. Definitely original.
Original. Love it.

Nice
Why? please elaborate your comment.
Nope. Not attractive IMO.
It’s a little dark,
Turn up the lights😀
Way too dark for me. Hides the beautiful coin underneath....sorry.

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.

Has the old coin look, I like it with slight rub under original surface.
I like it and think it probably looks even better in hand.
Not a fan.
A bit dark for me
Kinda crusty with no eye appeal.
Although, seems it would stand out in the basket of apples.
Not my cup of tea.

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.
Ditto
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.
I like it.
I am ambivalent this morning. Go figure. Peace Roy

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

To me, the toning is somewhat unattractive.

Too original in a bird-poopish semi-ED kind of way
If not dippable, it's just gonna sit there looking like mud
The numismatic slut in me is not excited. The market whore says $300
Even though it's original I don't like it at all.
Love it as an AU55...
Not horrible, but has below average eye appeal.
Coin in hand, my pics:
Your new pic makes it go from neutral to yummy
Looks waaay nicer than the first set of pics!
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.

I like it very much.
Love the color!
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.
I like it all day long
