[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 24825155, member: 22377"]Thank you! The Bust Half was an eBay find. The seller had it priced high but took a reasonable offer (still well above guide but acceptable for the level of eye appeal). The Isabella was a fortunate find in an unc details holders (questionable color). I didn't see anything wrong with it (nor did anyone on here when I did a guess the grade). It went with one of my PCGS subs and got the AU 58. I was hoping for a 63 but I'll take the straight grade (interesting that PCGS felt it was unc one time and then circulated the next but they might be more forgiving when it is a details grade). The Whipple Dollar I learned about on the forums (I believe CU). And how could I pass up a "gold" Morgan to add to my set. The Trade Dollar I had appreciated since I first saw it. I was glad that I received the chance to pick it up once available. It truly looks like a proof (and was more affordable than an actual proof). The Guatemala Peso is certainly a gem. The MS 62 had outstanding luster and was semi-pl but this one is way more PL and deserves the grade. Your Japanese Yen is nice as well. I've looked at quite a few over the years and some tend to have weaker luster or areas that have unappealing toning. These I like as blast white (don't mind rainbow toned but those are virtually nonexistent). The Jadwigas are surprisingly tough to find certified. I eventually ended up with three but sold two others as this one was the best.

I'm sure you will find one that fits your set soon enough. As far as the Peacock, that was me who picked up your example. I liked mine more so I parted ways with yours.
