When you get them under a light, and with a good 7x or 10x loupe, they just take your breath away.....Well, if you are coin geek that is! Thanks for the nice comment guys.
Dang! I bet the blue and violet on the obverse of the 1907 is simply stunning. Also, even though I am not always a fan of fingerprints, or partial prints, on coin, the obverse of the 1898 is killer.

Thanks Tom! Yeah the 1898 is pretty crazy.....The fingerprint is worse in the photo, than in hand.....Like a lot of proof's from 1898 (my favorite year) it does show considerable Cam contrast, and that helps. That coin reminds me of confetti exploding at a new years party.

good grief, can you imagine if all coins were dipped/stripped white. HOW BORING!

@LanceNewmanOCC.... Not dipped and stripped... Well preserved or mint fresh. Cheers, RickO

Real nice looking coins. Especially that 1893 above!
