Sweet toning. I bet that thing looks great in hand. I know from experience how difficult it can be to capture a coin's toning in photos; they never seem to do it justice. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful. I'd let this one be a part of my herd anytime.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.

Nice coin with nice color.

Looks like the obverse die was heavily polished, resulting in a soft strike? But those colors are beautiful!
