<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 25507573, member: 76194&quot;]Got a chance to finally photograph my newest classic commemorative. MS-64 apparently, though I find it hard to tell with these commemoratives as the strike quality varies so much between each issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1633281[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Now for the surprising part....I don&#039;t actually hate it. I know this is the lesser in $ out of all the commemorative in the set, so mentally I was prepared to hate it...but I don&#039;t! Am I a big fan of the side with the USA map in low relief? No, plus I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a state missing from looking at it. But the portrait side is definitely interesting in the hand. It has a certain nice quality to it that I don&#039;t think is captured well in images. Sometimes you just have to see a coin in person to get it, as it doesn&#039;t suit media as well as the eye. </p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, nice surprise. I&#039;m happy with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s Booker T. again to compare and contrast the last two commemorative issues of that era. Still think I like Booker T better between these two coins, but Washington/Carver is definitely nicer than I expected.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1633283[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
