    A few recent pickups:

    Not crazy about the photo of this one, but really like the look in-hand. The luster on the obverse, which isn't visible in the photo, adds a lot more vibrancy to the color, which makes a big difference.

    I've got to get another photo of the reverse, but the toning is pretty similar to the obverse. I'll upload one once I get the change again!

    Cool coin skyman,
    the 1958 comes with a nice toning and reverse shows generous die striation.

    Thank you! The toning on the obverse is most likely EOR toning, which is relatively uncommon toning for a 1958, as most nicely toned '58's have Mint Set toning.

Was able to take this home today. It was a good birthday weekend. One more off my two registry sets. Both will be headed off to PCGS this week for new plastic prisons.

    This coin is interesting. It appears to have had a small hair on the reverse for some time as toning took place around the hair. The hair is embedded in the toning except for about half which has lifted from the surface.

    Not graded.
    I almost traded it for ASE's at melt until the dealer suggested that I might want to keep it.
