    Monroe gets a bad rap for it's super low relief, but I also like the reverse. :) It's fairly affordable up through MS64+, with a sharp jump in price at MS65, and notoriously tough to find a well-struck one. How's the strike on yours? Hard to tell with the images you have.

    I'll get a better pic at some point. Honestly it's pretty average.

    The classic commemoratives are absolutely great, the modern commems are just getting worse every year

    There's some moderns that I like, but as a whole I agree, not wonderful.
    Last one I bought was Star Spangled Banner.

    After crowing about Swiatek's book I nabbed for under $11 it arrived, in the Amazon equivalent of a body bag (a plastic bag, opened it up and the musty smell is horrible).

    Mine came in pretty good shape. At least not smelly.

    Ouch. That's why I tend to buy "like new" or "very good" condition books from high volume book sellers. :(
