    Couldn't resist this one--headed to its new house soon:

    I love that verdigris color, with the rainbow tossed in for extra added appeal. Pastel tone rocks!

    I am not a fan of that coin. I don't like the color or the wear.

    Interesting looking coin. Don't know why but the color reminds of Medusa.

    Now ya see, I don't want a coin that might turn me to stone if I gaze at it for too long.

    It is a 63. No wear--just an obvious weak strike.

    Yeah, these are the seller's pix as I just bought it today. You are right--the NGC pic makes it look much prettier, and what looks like wear is just the typical New Orleans weak strike. I always thought that 99 o was a decent strike date, but the strike in this coin is marginal at best. :)

    The 2nd set of pics looks much better. I think this is one case where a blown up picture is bad.

    I love that dark green/blue color. Beautiful!

    Second set makes the coin look much better, and I found myself going from negative to positive upon reviewing the second set of photos.

    Congrats on your NEWP...Mike
