Congrats on the NEWP, Lehigh! All grade/value talk aside, that's one cool and great-looking coin....Mike
As an aside, which do you think is the better 68, the coin posted by Lehigh, or the other one on Heritage:...
Please remember, just because you're not aware of the differences, doesn't mean a collector of this series can't immediately tell the difference...
Nice coin. :) BTW, I agree, Dave is a class act.
I would like to see better photos before passing judgment, but it looks good so far. :)

You have way more experience looking at these coins than I do, so I don't doubt your experience/perspective. However, if that coin were an Ike...
"How do you like this toning?" Doesn't do much for me. The real question is how do YOU like the toning? :)
Somebody just hit the jackpot!
Cool coin! Congrats. I'd grade it G-6ish...Mike p.s. A quick correction: RT is not doubled per-se, it is repunched. :)
