    This is the first time I have purchased this McArthur set.
    These are real beauties. Luster is off the charts.

    Beautiful coins indeed, but not the San Francisco Mint's finest design work or striking capability. If you are looking for "mushy," this is it.

    When I bought my Livia I also had this thrown in at 75% off its asking. It was another I eyed for a bit. Its fairly common and looks MUCH better in hand.

    My Iphone camera doesnt do tiny or large ancients well.

    Picked this up at a local coin shop on Friday! I'm addicted to nice circulated Capped Bust Half Dollars.

    Got this for free from my girlfriend's stepfather. To him it was "a washer without a hole" and he figured I'd get more enjoyment out of it than he would lol

    Pretty nice type coin--picked up for a reasonable price. I like the toning.

    Another type coin for M'dude--a nice Seated Half, that is re-toning after a pretty obvious dip, but looks nice:

    Recently I have been buying several coins that have caught my eye over the years here on CT and one design I always liked was the French Indo China obverse design. So I finally bit the bullet and got this. Apparently its a better date, I have no I idea.
