Losbeschreibung: Yes, another: same date, same variety, same grade and same CAC sticker. But a quite different look. This one is for those in love with colorful toning. I had to learn a new word to describe the coin – chatoyant. It means having a changeable luster, like that of a cat’s eye at night. French speakers will recognize the root, chat: cat. Twirl the coin under light and watch colors appear, then give way to a rainbow of hues. Chatoyant luster aptly describes the look of the coin. Word mavens may visit the following site for a further description of chatoyant luster, including pronunciation: https://wordsmith.org/words/chatoyant.html. Est. $800 to $1,200.
