Arrived in the mail today. I’m terrible at photographing coins. These pictures don’t do it justice as it is absolutely stunning in hand. Deep blue mirrors with lighter blue frosted devices. Not bad for $60.
@PerryHall it's the VaultBox QR code sticker. Scanning it brings up the coin on their website. I tried to get the Instant Offer, but it didn't work for some reason. I'm not sure if I'm eligible as I was not the original buyer.

One can still see that it's a beautifully toned coin even if we cannot see its full color. Congrats on a sweet pickup!
My first attempt at coin photography produced photos that highlighted old toned over abrasions and showed only a trace of the coin's nice color. When I saw the images, I realized that this was going to take some tinkering with a real camera to get things right.
The most common of the four die pairs for the date, but quite rare in UNC. Details for a light cleaning that is not very apparent and presents nicely. I could see this easily in an MS62 holder.
I am working on an uncirculated set of coins for 1935, though with the exception of the Lincoln Cent, these will only be the issues from Philadelphia. Thus far I have the Lincoln Cent, Buffalo Nickel, Mercury Dime and Washington Quarter. I do also have the Lincoln Cent issues from Denver and San Francisco. All of these except the San Francisco Lincoln Cent and Philadelphia Washington Quarter are in MS66 condition. Those two are in MS65 condition.
These arrived today and my circulated Carson City Morgan collection is now complete. That 1884 was the toughest by far to find in VF35-AU50. It was only on the market for minutes when I snatched it up. I think PCGS shows a population of 8 in that grade. I'll be sending three coins from this set for crossover so that my registry set will be fulfilled.

A bunch arrived in the mail today. One interesting one, in particular, is this 1877-CC C-2.1 Trade dollar. I think I will need to add it to the Trade Challenge slot 29, with the C-9. Otherwise, there might be a number of misattibutions due to the similar RPD. It is still a very cool and desirable die variety, but probably just scarce, while the C-9 seems very rare. The C-2.1 is definitely out there and available at a wide range of grades/valuations. It also has a possible MPD in the denticle below and to the right of the first 7. Need to see more examples of course. Nonetheless the die is the die.

Very nice coin. What is that sticker on the reverse?

Nice NEWPs.
@justindan Thanks, I like the Franklin half dollars, maybe more than the Kennedy series. I know now why they call these rattlers too. Ha Ha
