[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1193910, member: 26030"]Clay, fantastic luster on that New Rochelle! I just bought these two Walking Liberty Halfs. It's funny but with spectrum of coins I have, an uncirculated WL was still missing from my type collection. I've been looking for a colorfully-toned gem with eye-popping appeal to fill that hole for a while, so I thought I would check these two out. It's interesting but white coins with blooming luster are easy to find, and most of the toned WLs I found seemed to go to black. Colorfully-toned Walking Libs with great visual appeal are a lot harder to find than you would think. Of these two, the top one has great, evenly distributed red and gold color on both sides and a little bit of green starting to work in along the rim in spots. Very striking. PCGS gave it an MS66 grade and blessed the toning as natural. The bottom one is more subtle and graded two steps lower at MS64 by PCGS, but it's got that nice blue, green, and amber rim toning and great luster. I'm curious, which one do you all like better?
