NewPs with Truviews for the colorful sets

The Liberty Nickel is still in transit but don't have any reason to believe it will disappoint. Upgrades for the liberty nickel set are few and far between, since I was pretty patient in the initial purchases. Still, I felt this was a decent eye appeal upgrade (trading one 64 for another), and should make a great match for the existing pieces.

The buff nickel was one of two I crossed from NGC, the other being the 26-D 3 1/2 legger in my other post. The 1925 will become a permanent fixture in my set and ousts a 65. This one is super nice, and if anything, the Truview short-sells the vibrancy on the luster and toning. If memory serves, this is my fourth go at this seemingly easier date, but I can say with some confidence that I am now done. This one was purchased NGC64 and crossed at grade.

At this point it may also be appropriate to give a shoutout to Sarasota Rare Coin Gallery, the source of these two and the 3 1/2 legger (although they did not pick up on that fact ) I've bought from them previously, although not frequently. I've always made a stop by their table when they come to Baltimore. Always seem to have nicer for grade stuff at fair (lower retail) prices
