Really nice! Curious about the red-ish-ness on the eagle's feathers (underside feathers from center to about 2/3 oclock position)... natural tone there? contact from a mylar flip? am I seeing things? curious what you see in hand color wise. Great coin, great details too.
I believe it was in an album or envelope for a time. The images are a lot darker than the actual coin (might need to check the white balance!) the coloring is sort of iridescent. I sent it in to the 'old' ICG about 3 years ago, just after I bought it, and they BB'd it for PVC! There actually was a little green haze on the wing, acetone took it right off. However, I don't think the PVC caused this toning. Unfortunately, the fields show signs of an old, if fairly light, cleaning-- something I was not attuned to when I bought it.
rockdude beautiful walker! i assume DDO is double die obverse right? i dont see any doubling. I still cant believe these walkers were in circulation, theyre so beautiful. If i were alive back then id be hoarding them all haha
The doubled die is below the chin and the right breast. How do you feel about counterfeits? Here's one you might get a kick out of;
