Just arrived in the mail today. PCGS MS65



Looks even better in hand, imo.

 

1900 O Barber Half. Man, I'm having fun putting together this series!

 

Here's the latest addition to my commem collection. It arrived today and I've had a devil of a time photographing it. I must have taken 40 shots and I still don't like any of them, but I'm anxious to show this coin as it has been elusive to me in both quality (grade) and price.












The luster is absolutely booming on this one......

 

Looks like you're overexposing it a bit... how many lights you using? Diffused or direct?

 

New Acquisition-1845 Large Cent

This is one I picked up from E-Bay. Maybe VF 35 ???

 

Here's an IHC that arrived from Angel Dees today. Andy Skrabalak has some wonderful stuff. I looked over six cents and chose this because I liked it best. And because it was all I could afford.

It's a little darker than I generally like for a RB. But it has terrific color at different angles. Deep, full luster. And I think it is undergraded at 64.

Anyway, I hope you guys like it too.
Lance.
