@ricko will absolutely love this thread. I hope he has plenty of his coveted BW stickers to hand out!
Here’s my candidate, bought one year ago, a sought after Type coin (it’s one of the 1853-1855 dimes with arrows), a coin that most on this forum would not want to own. Obviously it’s been dipped, but apparently gently enough that even CAC gave it their sticker! Some other collectors liked it too, as the bidding was very competitive!
WARNING: Put on your sunglasses if looking at it in hand, as the luster is blinding!

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

That is a very pretty 1885-O, nice pickup.

@winesteven.... That surely deserves a sticker. Cheers, RickO
Wow. Those look amazing! I have to agree with @ricko - Blast White is best with all it's original blinding luster and the coins displayed so far are outstanding. Toners look cool, but frosty BW can be breathtaking.
Plenty of white falling from the sky here in Eastern CT, 8" on the ground with 12 hours to go.
These blast white coins are a dime a dozen. Try to find lustrous light toned with nice colors, coins that have great eye appeal. Thousands of walkers, Franklin halves, Mercury dimes etc all looking similar. Little or no exciting color coins out there.
About 5 inches on this side of CT so far.
Here’s a trio of blast white Peace dollars from my date set
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
As white as the 15 inches of new snow in NJ.
Have posted before but this was a recent BW score I just couldn’t turn down
Respectfully disagree - a really strong blast white is equally challenging to find and striving for a BW date set in something like peace dollars is not a trivial task. But I appreciate your view and opinion- thank you
That’s a GREAT looking ‘22 and would have been “insta-buy” material to me too. Here’s mine from that year, which is in a 65+ slab:

Only Blast White non modern coin I ever owned was this 1890 Seated Liberty Dime Proof.

Had to go to the old blast white cigar box. To pull these out.

Stunning! Why all ‘39-Ds out of curiosity?

No reason if I’m out looking and see they came out of a fresh roll I’ll grab all they have if they are nice. Then toss them in my box’s. There is a RPM D/D on this one but they where just very nice coins and back then I think it was $12.ea so why not, It’s one way to park some money. They don’t get cheaper as the years go by.
But that’s just me dumb Type2 thinking. 😉

I agree with you. I should have said with the exception of white coins that are blazing and don’t look over dipped, but have that fresh out of a roll look.

I might have to buy a blast-white Morgan just so I can get this sticker!

I once said almost the exact same thing but have since changed my opinion.
Yes, there are a lot of white coins out there but there are also a lot of toned coins out there as well. The problem is there are a lot of ugly white coins and a lot of ugly toned coins.
It is equally as hard to find a blazing, shimmering, purely white coin with no haze or spotting as it is to find a coin with beautiful, vibrant eye appealing toning.
I’m sure you will eventually realize this.

I agree. But most white coins look average dipped out. I should have said with the exception of fresh undipped looking original out of a roll look.

That is an unbeleiveable MS65FH with full details strike!
Edited to add: This was graded by our host and it is their image. While this is a common date Peso, I have never seen one with such well defined PL surfaces. While it is alittle difficult to measure the reflectivity, it is there and makes this coin a special example. It was graded MS66 for those that are curious- no PL designation
