I bought this fractional gold mainly because it has nice toning, which I am a sucker for. It is my first gold fractional. It has a very proof like look, which is mainly visible in the first picture. The 1929 $2 1/2 also has some color.. but not as much. I still think it has a cool look! The 1913 does not really have color, but it arrived today too, so I added the pics as well.
Beauties. I'll show you my first gold when I get it. Can't decide between gold, a Seated dollar, and a proof Barber dime though.
Nice Gold. Go with a seated dollar. I have always wanted one of those in around AU, but never seem to see one I can afford or really like.
