    My latest classic comm, a fairly common half, but a very beautiful one. The reverse specially is probably one of the nicest depictions of a sailing ship on a coin.

    This one came in an NGC MS-64 holder. The toning is minimal, has plenty of luster all around. Just glad to have found one that didn't have uneven toning all over like a lot of the ones I've seen.

    The Pilgrim is probably my second favorite commemorative behind the Lafayette Dollar. I had an MS64 briefly a few years back, but having owned a rainbow toned MS66 20 years ago, I wasn't satisfied and sold it.

    Very nice example.

    This was a "must have" type for me, since I am a descendant of William Bradford, the fella on the obverse.
