    Thanks for the detailed photos. I had missed the intricate work in the ceiling in your first post. Rushing to look what was next, I guess? I'll try to be more careful in the future. Whoever the engraver was, was good! It is beautiful work. Thanks again.

    Enjoying this thread. My personal favorites at this moment if I'm forced to:

    1. First year, 1834 $2.5 Classic head, NGC MS-62
    2. Last year, low mintage, 1889 gold $1 PCGS MS-66+ (toned)
    3. Well struck (5/5) and centered Greek Owl Tetradrachm- NGC AU

    Runners up- my favorite toned Morgan (appears in hand exactly as in photo) and a 1937-D Oregon Trail PCGS MS-66 picked up at the same show as the Morgan several years ago. All photos taken by me.
