Very pretty indeed, but for a coin of that value, I'd be reluctant to buy, thinking artificially toned, esp. in a NGC holder.

Nice Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what? A few measly cents, not even enough to buy one beer. Wait a minute, lemme count and make sure...not even close. Homer Simpson
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
The color's a little too garish for me, but the luster looks killer in the second set of pics. The hit on the lower wing would bug me, but there is always something that bugs me.
Developing theory is what we are meant to do as academic researchers and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor

The reverse is unbelievable. A coin that has it all.
