My other two purchases from the GSNA show... both from yesterday image

The first coin won in the challenge to be photographed--the scratches on the slab made it nearly impossible to show lustre and color without a glare, hence the three images... the reverse just didn't cooperate at all... it's got lustre a bit weaker than the obverse, with darker color. Regardless, very original image If you need to, defer to commemdude, who saw it in hand... it's one of those coins where an image just can't replace holding it. PCGS MS64

Not too much to say about this BTW... just a very appealing coin with fantastic lustre and a touch of color. Looks a lot nicer than the average, ugly-toned BTW. ANACS MS65

Hope you enjoy!

    Nothing quite like originally toned coins from the era of the Columbian Expo. As many already know, they rather darker toning with nicely colored highlights is typical . . .and shows up well in this example. Virtually every color present . . .

    Bravo to those who like 'em white . . .but there is just something about the originality of this coin (and the BTW) that speaks to the little historian in all of us . . .

    I guess the Barber quarter took the attention last night... but let's not forget these little buddies image

    That's a great Colombian. I like dark ones much more than white. Just seems the way that particular coin is best. Give me a white San Diego, but make my Colombians like that one.
