<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 501404, member: 8959&quot;]About 20 years ago i was really interested (enthralled is probably the right word) by the US civil war period and history, and i just &quot;had&quot; to get representative coins from that period.&nbsp; I managed to obtain a few examples, dollars and minor denominations, most of which are quite pleasing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was unable to find an 1862 dollar, until one day i saw an ad in Coinworld (by I. Kleinman - is he still around?) advertising this as an AU sample, wow! No picture though. I took the gamble and bought it.&nbsp; The coin arrived, and well, let us say i was not that pleased....bright coin, no toning.&nbsp; I did not return it though- back in those days international transaction were difficult to do - returning a coin to a seller in the U.S was a real hassle. So i kept it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had it out on a tray for many years hoping it would tone naturally, but unlike many other which did tone to a pleasing color, this one did not. The obverse acquired some splotchy brown toning - not nice. The reverse is much nicer, and seems not to have toned much at all.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to hear your frank opinions on this coin, how it would net grade, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
