RE: Cayman Islands Silver Emperor Fish Coin / Re-blog lottery!

The blue oxidation on this coin is very fitting… So very nice!😊
Save one of those piña coladas for me Lol!😇
I imagine vacationing now would be extremely expensive! Probably priced me out of visiting this tropical paradise!🙄

The Caymans are just very expensive... I'm down for a piña coladas, let's have a beach party! That's really why I bought it, the blue with the fish, it fits so well. Many people may not understand, but oxidation can be very pretty. Unfortunately it's all up to mother nature, forced oxidation is unpredictable.

Fortunately many other islands are much more affordable. I recently priced the Ritz Carleton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Some nights are $200 a night, which is dirt cheap for the Ritz. But other nice hotels were less than a hundred!

You’re so correct about how oxidation can create a beautiful look on a coin!
I have several Morgans that were left in the cellophane paper stapled holders from when I was a kid. They have a beautiful rainbow patina that might not have happened if they were in an airtight!🙄
