I'm slowly getting into Wakers. I have 3 coins now in PCGS plastic.
Here are two recent pick ups. The other still needs a TrueView. I posted these in another thread but thought it'd be nice for people to see me buying coins
I know they're not coins. And it was a knee-jerk purchase, but here you go...

I learned long ago not to grade only by a photo. That said, the coin is really close and likely has a shot. Based on the photo, you’d really have to take a close look at the far right 25% of the horizontal bands. I will say that I have seen much worse in FB holders. Nice coin!

_100th Anniversary of the first Denver Mint Silver Dollars.
Morgan Dollars were originally minted from 1878 to 1904. After 17 years, Morgan Dollars were minted again for one more year in 1921. This would be the first year that silver dollars were ever struck at the Denver Mint. During the initial production, 100 of the first coins released were set aside for ceremonial distribution. The first one was given to the Governor and the second to the Colorado School of Mines. The third through the twelfth were engraved outside the Mint. The engraving was on three concentric arcs in the open field in front of Liberty’s face. The engraving stated (example):
“3RD DOLLAR RELEASED FROM FIRST 100 / EVER COINED AT DENVER MINT / THOMAS ANNBAR SUPT.”
Although it was originally planned to engrave all 100 coins, due to problems with the engraving only #3 through #12 were engraved._

You really don't see much under type ghosting but for some reason the camera picks it up much more than the eye.
Looks great!

The Paris Mint has this new program which features some classic Revolutionary War classics brought back. This is the basically the Comita Americana medal recognizing the siege of Boston. There are large high relief silver and gold ones available, but this is the smaller silver one with lower relief - still looks quite nice, though.
Here’s a video of the coin - Sorry, I don’t have a coin photography setup at home.

Is that a strike-through on the shield?
I picked these up a few days ago from a coin club member who is selling collection. The 1886 has much better toning than the muted pic I posted.
