Very nice coin!

The reverse is sharper than the obverse. I cleaned some verdigris off (where the darker brown spots are) that I thought was distracting.

Even better images. Will you be selling this one?

The second picture is the before pic, which is more lit than my image (I think way too much lighting on the obverse), but I think my pic is more faithful to the actual coin. Eventually I will list it in my shop.
