Yesterday I took a trip to a local coin shop. Pulled this off of the bid/buy board for 25 bucks. By no means is this a "great toner", it is , however, interesting. The coin was in the OGP. I removed it for the photos and replaced it after the photos. I'll be interesting to see what it looks like in another 10 years. The obverse is clear and, for the most part, colorless. It does have something going on in the fields - has the coin been out of the holder (before I removed it for these shots) and mucked with? Don't know. The reverse is milky/hazy with toning starting to develop after 30 years. As I said, not a a showcase coin, but interesting none-the-less. (Gee, I must be running out of stuff to post!!??).

I'm out of photos from my Roosie Roll hoard. I'm sure that I haven't posted them all, but it will be awhile before I can reorganize. I am going to miss posting them.

Picture was shot in "the early days", not very good. Unfortunately I no longer own the coin. I'd love to get my hands on her again for another photo session.

I think this is NT, but I'm less certain of that than I am with most of my other toned coins.
