I had a chance to attend CSNS earlier today and at the top of my short wishlist was an Isabella quarter. There were a surprising number of MS offerings to choose from - I was expecting to see more "genuine - cleaned" instead. After running back and forth between two vendors only two tables apart, I opted for this magnificent MS63 beauty - As with 90% of coins I post, the picture doesn't do this coin justice. Even on the lower end at MS63, this retains a surprising amount of original luster and the rainbow toning is much lighter in person - especially on the reverse. Overall, had a lot of fun exploring the show (as always!) and adding a long sought after coin to the collection Big shout out and thank you to Ace of Coins for this one!
I bought this from JJ Teaparty when they had a street level store in Boston many years ago. It's an MS-64. Does anyone remember Bromfield Street? That used to be Boston's "coin alley."
I swear. You always have the best coins. So jealous. Do you have any that are sub-par? They're all nice!
