    I bought the coin & it should be here next week. I’ll post some pics using my iPhone camera.
    If I don't like it I can return in w/in 30 days.

    I like it but then I don't like it.

    Looks like there's some hints of color there. Not bad. Where's the reverse? Have yet to see that.

    Aha.

    The somewhat mismatched toning on obverse versus reverse would bug me a little- but only a little.

    This coin is still not quite my cuppa tea, personally, but having seen more pictures of it now, I will say that I do like it a bit more than the first impression I had from the pix in the OP.

    It's respectable. Not for everyone, perhaps, but certainly not bad, either.

    It would be great if it just had that champagne toning.

    So what do YOU think of the coin now that you have it in hand?

    Looks better in the last images. It may be really pretty in hand.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I like it better in your pictures, but it is too dark for my tastes. That deep purple fading to black is approaching terminal.... not my sorta thing.

    That being said, there are lots of people who like that look, and if you like it that is all that is important.
