I like it a lot. It's in a PCGS AU58 holder.
Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my hard drive?

Bingo! That's why I bought the coin (and over paid). I'm into historic dates and events and the coins that were minted at that time.
Looking for Denmark 1874 20-Kroner. Please offer.
Capped Bust Half Series
Capped Bust Half Dime Series
And 1812 is a really good year for history.
<< <i>It's a nice coin and looks to have some good luster left. That being said I agree completely with JRocco. I'd say the coin was dipped rather severely quite some time ago. Some crust survived the dip and can be seen in the crevices of the devices. I think the peripheral toning you see came after the dipping when it was placed in some sort of album. >>
You betcha Clad.
This one might have even been washed with good old soap and water and nothing more than finger pressure, which is good because it didn't harline the coin like a wipe would have. You can see around the date for example and even in the birds mouth where this one was at one point in time.
The coin is still a little too white, but will be a killer in a few more decades- if it is ever free from that plastic so nature can do its thing
