Comments:  This is a coin that when seen you immediately know you want it for your collection.  The grade made it less expensive, and the color makes it a really attractive coin.

We would have no argument as to grade and it appears to us to be no more or less than a grade 58.  The fields are relatively clear and retain a little luster while the devices have clear indications of light wear.

This might be a great example of one of the "two beer" coins that circulated outside the mint for a brief period and then found its way back to the Mint.  It seems unlikely to us that the coin would have become toned in circulation and been able to retain its color under wear.

The obverse and reverse colors on this coin are essentially in the same range with regard to the blue regions.  This is a spectacularly toned coin in specific areas that will attract a lot of collectors.

On and above Liberty's head we believe the yellowish color is darkened by moisture and would in fact be closer to just yellow.  Toward the upper rim there are areas of magenta, plum, royal blue and powder blue.  Around the date there are  areas of powder blue and royal blue.  All of these are well within the range expected for a bag toned coin.
