    I find it different and unusual, don't love it, don't hate it.

    Don't love it or hate it....wouldn't mind owning it. But it does look like a bottle of birthday cake candy sprinkles puked. image

    I've got one like it,unfortunately with more dings, fortunately with more of a soft overall green tone. I find it an interesting look.

    Mint set color, but not enough flash for me.

    I am guessing that if you put it under a bright light,
    it will be appealing,
    a photo can only show so much.

    I think thats an awesome example of toning. There are so many home cooked coins in slabs these days, its nice to see a genuine NT coin.

    It's just one coin from an "original" mint set I will be listing for sale, the other coins from this set are also quite interesting. Thanks for all the comments....Joe

    I don't find it aesthetically attractive, but it's pretty cool.

    Well, you know what I think.... I cannot understand the attraction of a coin like this... to me, it looks as if it was found in a septic tank. Sorry, but that is what it looks like. I would not have a coin like this in my set - even if offered free. However, it is your collection and what you enjoy. Cheers, RickO
