Hi guys,
Today, while at my LCS, this Gem was staring at me!
The only problem is I won't be able to show you "exactly" what I see!
:D
Meaning, none of my photo attempts will truly bring the Eagle's justice of magnificence it deserves.
Here are my bad attempts.
Maybe, later I'll bring it?





Even the Shield, has a Cameo appearance of frost!

    I'm glad you like it, but I hate fingerprints, and I suspect Manifest_Destiny has a similar opinion.

    That's a horrible description of God.

    The fingerprint has toned. It won't just wash off.

    I'm glad you like it. But that is not the kind of color that carries a premium to most market participants.

    glad you like it. Leave as it as it's a low grade and not worthy of plastic, in my opinion.

    I don’t like it. It’s not very colorful and the fingerprints are rather profound.

    Joey, please just show one photo, straight on, oriented correctly. Don’t show us your attempts at capturing the coin, just the final product.

    I think the fingerprint is less noticeable than before but I still don’t think this is worth a premium.

    Interesting thread. But it's a meh coin for me. I have only a handful of toned eagles, and the one posted here I would have passed on.
