[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 768608, member: 19165"]This beauty came this morning. I was not expecting a delivery on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to me :) In hand, the coin is a gorgeous example of a mint set toned coin. The brown speckled surfaces dampen the luster as expected, but the toning at the edges is a great variegated rainbow. Luster hides under the toning, and shines through especially on the reverse. The strike is what is expected of an S mint FBL - soft, but full. The bell lines are definitely full, although the upper left quadrant has a bit of weakness. My images leave something to be desired, but this is a very tough coin to photo!
