    Beautiful toning on rev. Would like some feedback, if you have time. Thank you.

    I beg to differ about 'beautiful' - it appears to have been dug from the ground and minerals in the soil have reacted with the surface to discolor it. It's a clad coin, so natural toning (as in silver coins) is unusual to see.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's all I got.

    I felt that way about the adverse of the coin, but the rev. has the copper showing through. Maybe it helps being color blind. But thank you.it will probably help me see it through others eyes. Thank you.

    As others have said, it's suffered environmental damage and has no numismatic value.

    As long as you understand that, then who cares what others think of the appearance. Save what you like and do whatever you want with them
