Thanks, I’m really enjoying your detailed comments. The Lafayette dollar was a relatively recent purchase.

 

Thanks! The Indian cent proof doesn’t quite deserve its RB (Red-Brown) designation- it’s really more of a BN (Brown). I guess it might have mellowed over time, since it was graded. I believe that slab is something like twenty years old.

But it has subtle iridescent colors which “pop” at certain angles to the light. That’s what counts to me. I’d rather have a nicely toned BN than a RB or RD bronze coin, sometimes.



The Peacock has always proven popular. It’s a great design. There are several varieties of them out there, but they’re not something you see every day. And that’s the kind of stuff I like: slightly off the beaten path.
