oh ya what were you saying about the right way to hold a coin, how the oils from your hands can get on the face of the coin if held that way...comments on any rev. toning patterns that way arise in 10-20 yrs? ....great thread
If bruising affects natural oil flows in the skin, one half of the reverse will be rainbow toned and the other half will be unfortunately be black and blue...
abe... sorry, of topic here but what the heck is your avatar? looks like a virginia toonie from my side of the border.
Its an encased WV state quarter. Here is the link to where I got it, they also have lots of Canadian stuff too. http://encasedcollectorsinternational.org/ Check out Pinewood Collectibles too...
abe, just curious but is that a gold tone on the center, or does the pic make it look that way? it is the size of a quarter? i thought the states would never have a coin like this. even here when the toonie came out ppl were saying "yuck its like a mexican coin"
WOW!! You sure cant call that a Bland Dollar!! lol. George himself would approve of this display lol.
