I received the coin, Thanks Nightowlace. Everything went smoothly
Two things to note:
First, I didn't get the coin on the picture, still a series 1 Casascius though with a nice address: 1Ey8u
YES , so I'm fine with that.
Second, the front of the coin looks cleaned or polished. Or maybe its just the appearance of the 2011 coins, as this is my first one I can't really tell. However, the 2013 coins look "sharper". From my coin-collecting experience using polish or cleaner is a no-go. I would not recommend anybody to do that just to make the coins more shine.
Anyway, the coin is beautiful, As I'm new to Casascius coins I'm just asking out of curiosity if there's any difference in the coins of the different years
