- Lot Description
- The Blackhawk Collection. Tab-toned. Here is a memorable Oregon type coin, popular and common in the general sense yet unusually rare with such original color due to highly esteemed tab toning. Tobacco-brown and olive-honey splashes well into the obverse periphery and also into the exact center of the obverse -- exactly as one expects of this classic type of original storage. Further as expected, the reverse has become completely enriched by glowing russet-gold and undertones of peppermint-blue. True aficionados of the commemorative half-dollar series need no background story as to why this is such an aggressively popular toning scheme since the results speak for themselves.
