<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1465582, member: 37839"]Thanks--was a "buy now" at $90, and that is 5% over book for a 64. This is classic "New Orleans" toning. The golden-blue obverses and rainbow reverses are not unusual from Nawlins. Must have had to do with the humidity in the air, and the oxidation process (just my theory, as the "Big Easy" is so humid, and lots of coins from Southern locales pre-air conditioning have this subtle but colorful tone). So many of the ones from the late 90s thru early 1900s have this kind of toning, and it can be really nice. I liked this one a lot, so pulled the trigger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
