    Are those horizontal striations on the obverse or hairlines?
    When in doubt, don't.

    horizontal striations from a unpolished die.

    I just love patterns. They are so cool because they are different from what you normally see. This one is definitely an awesome piece! Is the planchet copper?

    cleaned, dipped, re-toned, or am I just crazy?

    I don't like the variousness in the copper color.

    I however know nothing about copper patterns.

    It's a beautiful piece, but the color does look a bit weird, maybe it's the photo, I wonder what it looks like in hand?

    i think its the photo. Heritage isnt the best at photography either. image

    Excellent! I am glad to hear that you have seen the coin, and it is attractive and unboinked based on your in-hand inspection.image

    Heritage images are better than they used to be, but I still would not rely on them to determine much regarding color on copper. It is a cool pattern, though.

    What's that sparkle on the lower left reverse. I cant beilive PCGS didnt call this articifically toned or altered surface ..

    Sorry . I'm jaded.

    Everything I submit to PCGS comes up altered or improperly cleaned,

    My opinion is that you should not this buy this coin or most any coin without seeing it in hand or having an agent look at it for you.

    If the the coin is really great you will probably not win it if a pattern buyer/dealer/Legend has actually seen it in hand and likes it. You will likely get outbid.

    If the coin is boinked/questionable or not all there you will probably win the coin since you put out a nice max bid. ( paraphrasing you)

    I do not like your odds. I'm especially surprised that you tipped your hand like this. Strange.

    I do like this pattern.......MJ

    I dont know much about US patterns but I agree the colour from the pictures doesn't look right. It reminds me of a similar pattern discussed recently and thought to have been helped by NCS.

    I think it is beautiful and I'd love to own it.

    What did you say your max bid was? image
