Will it be Pretty?

I am starting to shy away from "interesting" coins to pretty coins. I realize many of my odd/unusual coins won't have a resell value much later in life.
Okay, with that stated, here is my latest foray into what I hope is a pretty coin.
Please, based on the photos provided within the auction, tell me what you think. Will I be disappointed? Amazed? Or, just, "it's alright".

The price was OK..... Interesting tarnish...looks uniform golden in the picture...That may not be what it looks like in hand... but maybe...Good luck...Let us know when you get it. Cheers, RickO
Like @ricko I only see a golden color, but it could just be the light.
I’ll guess it’s ok overall but nothing that’ll knock your socks off.
Don’t forget to collect what you like, first. But I do find that coin attractive.

I can't look at ebay at work, but I would make sure that there is a return policy...just in case I don't like the look of it "in hand". Grab an image or two and post them in your OP.

Meh...just your ordinary Peace Dollar.
Brown seems to be the new Rainbow Toning on eBay lately so who knows?
Then again $50 doesn't get you a lot of Pretty anything...
thank god some of us don't drink anymore
I agree with Darryl. You could find dozens of those at a decent size coin show.
For $50, it can't be tooooooo bad.
Hope you are well, Pat....Mike

RE -- coin. Nope. Color balance is too warm. Little toning. common date, common condition.
I personally don't like the coin. Too many scratches in the fields. If you're going for pretty wait for coins with clean fields. I don't see how this coin got in a 64 holder...…..unless the pic is deceiving.
Will it be pretty?
Que sera, sera.

It is due to arrive either today or tomorrow. I will post photos either way regardless.

@braddick I definitely agree that eye appeal is important. Of course, not everyone has the same eye. But if you are considering a coin being salable in the future there are certain qualities liked by collectors generally across the board.
