Would you buy a coin this dark?

Would you put something like this in your collection? This is really close to what the coin looks like in hand. Add light from an angle and it really changes.

Yes, I like it!

 

I love it, although i am bias as i love any and all seated coins

 

Your darn tootin' Id put it in my collection. Tho I primarily only collect Canadian, Id still love to be able to showcase that.

 

Very nice and would be proud to have that in my collection

 

That´s a stunning coin !

 

I would i like dark colored coins.

 

I ask myself the same question since I'm putting together a type set (and not worried about matching a date set). I'm assuming you're also not worried about matching this to something else and simply like the coin.

Maybe the only answer is to buy a dark coin such as this one and live with it for a while. See if and how your taste evolves from there.

BTW, this one's a beaut, but I also have reservations when coins such as this one look better under pinpoint light than in normal, ambient room light.

 

Yes, Yes I would because I could just imagine the colors when the light hits it

 

To me, I find that very attractive.

 

I like it as well.

 

Awesome coin, I'd be glad to have one like it.

 

Yes, indeed. That is a gorgeous coin.

With darker coins, I generally feel that there is less of a chance that they've been cleaned, so I take patina as a plus.

 

I really like it!

 

I personally would pass. That toning is getting to the point where it may start damaging the surfaces... if it hasn't already.

 

Of course! My only problem would be that hit at 12:00. I get distracted by things like that in MS and AU coins easily, though

 

The toning makes it look like a proof coin. Anyday, I would buy this, unless the price is out of this world.

 

its very cool id keep it although i collect misprints
