It's one thing to have a nice photo of a favorite coin, but a nice painting/print of it? Even better! This was done by Justin Tecson, who I met at the OKC show. He painted it from a photo I took of the coin. Below is the painting and the photo it came from.

That’s really cool!
I like it.
May I ask roughly what something like this cost?
If you prefer not to say I understand.
Its done very well.

what size is it??
That look means it sat in a PVC flip in the 70's.
To answer the questions above, the painting is in a 13x13 matted frame. Don't know the cost since it was a gift.

PVC or not, this toning is absolutely insane for a Bust Half. Also, that's the high point of the design, so it's certainly plausible that those points on the coin would be the last to tone, depending on where it was sitting.

I have this print of a drawing from him. Same size.
This is a crop from a photo on my phone of my shelf of stuff. Best I can do from hotel room.
EDIT: Found (finally) the interview write up on him.

the colors are vivid, aren't they?
Anyone around 50 years ago has seen this effect many times.
The PVC dissolves the natural patina (skin) on the coin where it's in contact with the flip. The PVC flip will have a green outline but the coin itself isn't PVC damaged yet, only the high point skin was dissolved.
Very nice👍👍
Nice
A painting of a coin -- that's new to me. Striking colors, nicely done.

He did a wonderful job!! The colors are spectacular. From the photo, It looks like he had great subject matter to work with. Very cool idea.
