[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 515962, member: 4068"]Way to GO Johnny!!! You freed that beauty from its plastic prison. I'm a great fan of NT coins, specially the early American silvers, yeah, halves and dollars. Actually the nicely toned commemorative half dollars really do it for me. Your coin, what I consider the most attractive of the Lady Liberties, has a great NT rainbow happening. The obverse really shows portions of the coin not toned because it had not been exposed to the "toning" agent, what ever that may have been. The colors are there, light, but quite attractive. It really has a rainbow effect happening and that's pretty cool. It should continue to tone over the years/decades. The reverse has what I like to call a classic patina happening, mostly dark. Yours appears to have some color in there. I bet its much better in hand. Pics really don't capture the best in toning examples. Good job there Johnny. I'd have a page (20) of them if I could. Keep on Collecting!!! Allen[/QUOTE]
