    Got this one in the mail, and I like it quite a bit. The label looks much better in person than I think photos will ever show it. Photos make it hard to read and looks sort of gross due to how reflective the surface is, but in-hand looks nice.

    The coin looks nice too. ;)

    Latest coin.

    I like it a lot. This is brighter than most examples, so I am wondering if CAC will sticker this one or not. But I liked the look, and in-hand, I like the look even more. Photos make it looks rather dull, but there is actually some life left in the luster on this one.

    I have been hunting a "50 cents" variety for a long time.

    Oddly pretty blue obverse. Hard to capture in a photo. Near perfect reverse.

    While I have never sent a coin in for grading, I do enjoy acuiring them, mostly for my Lincoln Cent and now proof sets 1953-1970. Here is one the CAC minions got a hold of as well (the second obverse image is from NGC):

    Lovely NEWP 1945 D Jefferson Nickel toner (that stood out from the others in a set in both color and luster)

    One of the earliest die stages of the 1832 Large Letter reverse I've seen. The die break on the reverse barely exists.

    Wow, I have never seen one with the die break so early before. Add to that beautiful surfaces and eye appeal… awesome coin.

    Mine is in a similar grade and I posted it below yours for fun- really cool to see the progression.

    I fell in love with this one. I haven't yet explained the die stage.
    It's getting a GTG here in a few.

    That looks flawless, maybe 66 or 67. I see zero blemishes and dang few hairlines on the reverse. The obverse looks perfect, although all Peace dollars are poorly struck, the word "Peace" always looks worn even in gem condition. Although anything over 65 in a Peace is dang near impossible. I wish I could take decent photos. I may follow yours with a couple of 1922s that have been basking in dust for half a century. I did "rinse them off". :p
