<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 25518981, member: 76194&quot;]Mail came through today and I finally got the package I&#039;ve been waiting for over 2 weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1634274[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>First impressions: Obverse is a little more toned than the reverse, though both sides are rich in luster. This is not a particularly high relief coin by any means, so it doesn&#039;t photograph as well (especially with some toning), but in the hand it really comes to life.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1634282[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I know it&#039;s the &quot;King of Commemorative Halves&quot;, and I genuinely like it, but I can already tell that it&#039;s not going to end up being my favorite....not when classic commemorative halves offer other coins with higher relief and plenty of art deco inspiration. That being said, this coin was a necessary step in my journey to collect a type set and while not my favorite so far from those I&#039;ve acquired, it sits solidly in the middle of my current collection as far as what I like. I&#039;m&nbsp; glad about that because it shows me that price tag isn&#039;t enough to sway me and make me like one coin over another, and that I can fairly judge my coins on their own merits regardless of value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
