Ever have one of those coins that haunts your dreams? Well this was the one... Me and @lordmarcovan were at FUN last year when this lusterbomb was throwing light beams across the hall at us. We haggled a bit as there was no doubt it was going home with one or the other of us. The Mighty Lord won and carried her home. It took me a year of finagling, but now she resides with me. Ain't she purdy?
Truly a lovely Peace Dollar! Congratulations to @lordmarcovan for taking that coin home and Congratulations to you @Randy Abercrombie for somehow getting it away from him.
Here are the @messydesk photos. The last pic is one I shot at the FUN show. Lusterbomb, indeed. 20th century US coins typically excite me less than the pre-1900 stuff, but this one was an exception.
Haha, you've been talking about that darn coin for a year and a half now. That's a sign that you need to pay up for it! I'm glad you finally got it - the luster is truly great.
Nice one. I like the strike on this one - but the second set of pictures are nicer. Same thing I struggle with while working my type set. Some early 1900 to 1920 can excite me. Now this coin I could pair with my 22S. PS - you can always donate it to my set. Of course my coin is only a 64+ and it could use a big sister.
