    I love the back, the front looks a little artificial, or like it was under a roof leak.

    Just leave it for 100 years and come back, see if it has mellowed that streak a little.

    Don't dip it.

    Price for the grade.

    I don't like it.
    It looks waterlogged.

    First time I'm seeing it, so you can't claim I hated it before :) Nevertheless, I don't like it. To me it looks like a dog lifted his leg on it.

    I don't remember what I said before, but I chose "hate it". The untoned areas on the obverse are very distracting to my eye.

    Since I wouldn't spend the money to buy it I decided I hate it. I don't know it just looks like it's blowing smoke must be something in the metal that didn't allow it to tone quite right. Ice

    With the smoke coming out of Liberty's nose and the psychedelic colors, this coin is screaming Grateful Dead and the "Summer of Love".

    I'm lovin' it cause it's fun filled!

    personally I think that Robert Prasky said it best in the movie "Christine" and I quote:

    "You can't polish a turd, kid."

    I like coins that look like coins. This one has too many Halloween characteristics, like the smoke coming out of the nose.

    Imo it would be a beautiful coin if it wasn't for what ever is going on from 9-12 O'clock on the obv. Also I've never really been a fan of that type of toning on the rev, to me it always looks like rust, but I can't say I hate it, still a pretty nice coin.

    I had never seen it before. But I like it. A lot. The toning is awesome. And the strike is detailed. I don't see anything Not to like.
