Featured When photos can't do it justice: exquisitely toned silver franc of Napoleon Bonaparte

Thanks! Yes it's also made me more aware of what a CNG coin might actually look like in hand versus their photo. I recently was bidding on a Victoria "Godless" florin that had a similar look in one of CNG's recent auctions. (Unfortunately I was blown out of the water in the bidding.)

Yeah that's a die crack. The reverse die was evidently not quite as fresh as the obverse!
