[QUOTE="FentonForche, post: 563001, member: 18064"]So the coin arrived today, which was pretty exciting given that this seems to mark my first foray into serious collecting. I'll try to get some photos on tonight--anxious to hear what you guys think of it. The face side definitely has a bronze shading to it, which adds character I think. The back side is lighter, more of a light gold color, though some of the periphery is starting to darken to more of a bronze. What's exciting to me is that there appears to be very little wear, if any. I can still see some definition on the eagle neck and chest, the hair above the ear on the front side, etc. On the negative side, there dies to be two faint scratches on the back, one about a milimeter in length, the other about two milimeters long. And the most obvious imperfections are these two very small dents around the edge of the back. Anyhow, will try to get the photos up tonight.[/QUOTE]
