<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 838978, member: 16510&quot;]I carefully looked at both coins again and Charmy&#039;s is not a monster, it&#039;s a monsters monster by itself or compared with the toned one in this post - there is no comparison not even the same ballpark.</p><p>This toned one to me is suspect of artifically or enhanced toning and has little depth - it has a flat affect.&nbsp; </p><p>Charmy&#039;s is deep, reflective and so well preserved.&nbsp; The originla mint red shining through acts as a halo.&nbsp; It&#039;s as if there is a spot light on it with those protected areas still intact.&nbsp; Simply put this coin &quot;has it all&quot; it&#039;s one of the best original large cent I&#039;ve ever seen and I would not ever expect to see one better soon.&nbsp; This is a monster, today, next week or next century.&nbsp; It absolutely begs you to even think for a moment it&#039;s not original.&nbsp; It actually screams, &quot;I&#039;m an a perfect example of the coiner&#039;s art, you just try and tell me I&#039;m not&quot;!&nbsp; It has personality, it has it all!</p><p>I could go on for pages about this coin and if I could afford it I would buy it at 3 or 4 times ask with no reservations.</p><p>Considering recent posts regarding new persons and valueing moderns coins as rare or valuble I think this coin could convince many of that whole argument with one glance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
