I like it.&nbsp; probably would show even better if pictures were taken trying to highlight the colors. I feel like there likely a light gold to amber over the entire silver surface of the coin that isn&#039;t captured in these pictures well.&nbsp; the &quot;spotting&quot; is likely just spots in the toning that we see on various coins, just the color is so subtle it looks &quot;milky&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
